Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.13-1.1etch1
Severity: normal

Apparently, when mails are marked as deleted in mutt, it does not pass
the state change to the IMAP server until the messages are actually
expunged.  This causes data loss (sometimes serious) when a folder is
closed without an expunge, because mutt actually throws away information
about which messages are deleted.

As a workaround, I have "bind index x noop" in my configuration file,
but I'd rather see delete flags synced to the server immediately.

Cheers,
Panu
