Trashed files disappear ? (Possibly an offlineimap issue)

[Alan Schmitt]

Hello,

I just discovered that when I trash a file (using 'd'), then it does go
to the trash, but the next time I run offlineimap, the message just
disappears. This is strange because I've never seen this behavior with
gnus (for which I was also using offlineimap to get my mail locally).

Is there a way to ensure that I keep the messages in the trash for
something like a week?

Thanks,

Alan

After digging a little bit, it seems it's because I did not set "expunge
= no" in the local repository.

By the way, here is may local repository configuration in offlineimap.
Is this the correct way to do things?

[Repository LocalIMAP]
type = IMAP
preauthtunnel = /usr/local/Cellar/dovecot/2.1.9/libexec/dovecot/imap
holdconnectionopen = yes
expunge = no

Should I rather use maildir storage directly?

Finally, it seems that messages with the Trash flag are not displayed on
my email web interface on the server (it's a Zimbra). Is there a way to
move messages to the trash without setting this flag?

Thanks,

Alan
