Using IMAP, when I exit a mailbox to enter another, I get asked do I want to
purge deleted messages. I assume therefore that the mailboxes are synced on
exit yes?
Of course, "exit and say no to purge" doesn't work for me, I delete a
message, exit the mailbox and say no to "Purge?". When I reenter the
mailbox, the deleted message is still there but is not marked as deleted!
Worse still, I delete a message, sync and say "no" and the message shows as
deleted. Then I exit the mailbox, say "no" to "Purge?", on reentry
(assuming I don't burn up in the atmosphere :-) the message is still there
and no longer deleted!
Using M$ Exchange as IMAP server (out of my control you see!).
