Mil.app does both, depending on settings. In point of fact, "mark" is much lower impact, especially if your bandwidth is limited (like say on 3G) because you don't have to move a bunch of data around, you just mark a flag saying 'this message is deleted' instead of deleting the message out of the store and then redid loading it when you look in the trash folder. I prefer the mark/expunge in theory, but I use the move to trash because I have server rules that clear old message out of the trash automatically. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
