i.e. exactly what those of us who manage mail servers end up doing, and
the fact that every mail client has a different idea about how to
delete stuff, and even what to *call* the Trash folder when they have
one (no, they don't all call it Trash) just adds a little more blackness
to the greyness of life.  Same thing goes for Sent, Junk and so on.
