I understand, and I'm saying that the two-stage delete/expunge maps
well, IMO, to the Tracker options (and usage pattern) "Move to Trash"
and "Empty Trash".
One could instead represent the deleted state of mail by giving them an
IMAP status attribute, sayin e.g. "Deleted" and offer Tracker add-ons
to delete, undelete and expunge, but this complicates things needlessly
and is counter to the existing usage pattern.
