Re: [Evolution] Demand Filter/Deletion Bug

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj helixcode com>]

I just added this to bugzilla and thought about it. This originally sounded
like an excellent idea but I don't think it'd work because IMAP's EXPUNGE
command will not let you specify specific UIDs to expunge...it works the
same way Camel's expunge currently works - kill everything that was marked
as deleted. This means that in order to do this we'd have to come up with
an ugly hack that first unmarked the messages that were marked for deletion
but not specified in the uids argument passed to the expunge
function...expunge...then go back and remark them as deleted.

I'll reread the EXPUNGE section on IMAP tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure this
is the case.

I/We do appreciate the suggestion and it was a very good one, just not
possible :-(
