What about introducing an ACL flag that would control the ability to expunge? ("e") Many email clients have a "hide deleted messages" option. Thus, deleted messages would disappear from view, but you would be able to bring them back easily. Not being able to expunge would ensure that they are never removed from disk. Cheers, Fabian
