Expire and Delete again

[Jens Krinke <j.krinke@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I still don't understand why nnimap is using its own mark gnus-deleted 
instead of \Deleted.  Let me explain my setup:

In nnimap I don't delete articles, but mark them as expirable (`E').
As long as I don't expunge, these articles are kept around and marked
with an E in the summary buffer. As soon as I expunge they get
deleted.  However, If I use a different client like netscape, I also
mark articles as deleted and keep those folders until I compress the
folder.  However, those articles that I marked as deleted via netscape 
are not marked differently than read articles in the summary
buffer. On the other hand, those articles get expunged if I invoke
expunge from nnimap.  It looks like nnimap is not using the \Deleted
flag at all, it only sets it togehter with gnus-deletd.  (As a proof I 
appended a fragment of *imap-log*.

So, why is nnimap using gnus-deleted and not \Deleted?

BTW, its nnimap 130
