This hack has nothing to do with what is being discussed.

There is no bug in Cyrus.  The 'Trash' folder concept is actually a hack
on top of the IMAP delete/expunge methodology.  When an IMAP client
DELETEs a message, it is only flagged as such.  Messages are never
removed from an IMAP server until the client EXPUNGEs them.  The fact
that Netscape copies the message to the Trash folder without expunging
it from the original folder is unfortunate, but this isn't Cyrus'
problem (its only doing what it is told).
