Re: [Evolution] auto move

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

You realise that the way other mail clients do it is by hiding the
deleted messages without giving you the choice of viewing them, don't
you?

Well, that's how it is done in other mail clients, which is why they
have options like "Compact Folder" which is the same as our Expunge.

The only difference is that we allow you to view deleted messages inline
if you so choose (I prefer this way).
