I didn't ask what their main reason for this was, but for me it

POP3 instead of IMAP, and now it deleted everything from my INBOX."
With lazy_expunge the user would have to explicitly go and undelete
the mails, and it would also undelete those mails that were
intentionally deleted. With this feature nothing at all would go
wrong on IMAP/webmail side.
Hello Timo,
I'll sure appear, once again, to be a bit dumb, but I'm somewhat
uncomfortable with that "POP3 deletion as a flag" option.
As others already have noticed, this is liable to lead to confusion
in the user's mind as well as to privacy concerns.
So in that case you won't turn the option on. The feature is just
giving a mail administrator the option to enable it if they want to.
I'd bet that most probably won't.
Different story if the default would be changed and the feature would be
on for unsuspecting admins.
So I'd say Timo - go for it. As long as it is not defaulted to being
enabled, then there's nothing to lose and everything to gain. I can't
see any downsides to this?
