Description

Messages that a non-Stormbox IMAP client marks \Deleted without expunging (e.g. Thunderbird moving mail to Local Folders, which copies then flags the original) remain fully visible in as normal messages, since Stalwart still reports them in the mailbox with the $deleted keyword. Stormbox should handle the $deleted keyword — either hide these messages from the list or render them struck-through/dimmed — so mail moved out via IMAP doesn't appear stuck in the inbox.

Research direction

Start by tracing the message list rendering and how the $deleted keyword from Stalwart is exposed to the frontend. Decide whether deleted messages should be hidden or visually marked, then verify that messages flagged $deleted no longer appear as ordinary inbox messages.
