This is also complicated by the lack of both a 'move' command and a
'permanently delete just this one message' command in IMAP.  Typically
'moving' a message is actually a copy followed by marking the original
as /Deleted - that leaves the original in place (messy, quotas, etc)
unless you close/expunge, and if you do that, you'll remove *every*
/Deleted message in the selected mailbox (including those that other
clients accessing the same mailbox have flagged).

Cheers,
Tony
