IMAP doesn't have a move mail function - it is implemented on most

of moving a message was to purge the whole mail box (I know lots of
people who use their deleted mail as an archive system!).  
That's just what I'm trying to do - moving mail out of Trash into an
archive doesn't seem to work, because (as I've laboriously discovered)
Trash isn't actually a folder but a search on other folders for deleted
mail - surely it makes more sense to file it under "Search Folders"
then...  So, I'm trying to moving the (un-hidden) deleted mail from
folders to an archive folder - except they're not moved; they're copied!

I'm sure I'm not the first to say it (and like others I'll no doubt stop
once I've got my head round it) but, this is very very
counter-intuitive.

Any pointers much appreciated.
