There're some good reasons not to do it and "help" people by making it harder for them to shoot in their feet. For eexample, you tag tag delete messages and cover messages you didn't want, or have hooks like me that mark duplicates for duplication which would delete valid mail automatically if I weren't paying attention to them immediately. But when I have to care of the manually, I just do the whole syncing business myself. And yes, these messages are auto-deleted when the interval for syncing is up... Rocco
