These types of issues are created by configuration options within the
MUA itself - configuration options that don't contemplate the effects on
an IMAP server.

Opening a message and closing it to find it deleted means that they have
chosen an option to automatically move read mail to another folder which
would cause it to be deleted from INBOX. That's a horrible waste of
resources on an IMAP server.

Best I can suggest is that Computer Sciences Department get copies of
the frequently used clients so they can duplicate the client optional
settings, behaviors on the IMAP server and create a set of recommended
settings for the various mail client applications.

You should note that Microsoft deliberately cripples the IMAP
capabilities within their Outlook program - rendering it a less than
ideal IMAP client.

What was it supposed to do?
