Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
IMAP does not necessarily remove a email from a folder when a user selects "delete", but only mark it as "deleted". Currently, messages that are marked-as-deleted are not handled any differently from mails that are not (the marking is completly ignored.)
Describe the solution you'd like
- The marked-as-deleted mail should not be included in the message list by default.
- There should be an option to "include marked-as-deleted mails". If (and only if) the user selects this options, the marked-as-deleted mail should be listed again, being clearly marked (e.g. "stricken-through".)
- When the marked-as-deleted mails are listed, the user should be able to remove the "deleted" marking of the current mail.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There are none. The marked-as-deleted handling is part of the IMAP standard. Workarounds such as moving the mail between folders are no replacement.
