I didn't try that. I do know the messages aren't gone, because I can
see them via the Web interface or if I recreate the account. They just
no longer show up in my message list. I guess they must be marked
deleted on my client, but not actually purged. But they shouldn't stay
marked deleted if they weren't successfully moved, I think.
