Here is where the local Trash folder comes in. The messages that are deleted
are moved to the Volume's Trash folder. Empty trash means EXPUNGE. User's
can undelete mails from their Trash folder. Note that this folder is
per-volume and not haiku's trash folder
Based on your comments i feel its best to leave the server out of this. i.e.
simply mark as \Deleted on the server. AFAIK, the server has mechanisms to
handle deleted mail. Its best to leave this option configurable due to the
way different clients handle this. See
