ok, i decided to test.
o i am in SOURCES
o i subscribed to Deleted Messages on the server
o i delete a message from my inbox with the DEL key
o i look in Deleted Messages; there are eight messages there but not
the one i just deleted
o the right click menu on Delete Messages does not offer to empty the
mailbox
o i look manually (ls) on the server and the eight messages are in
that mbox file, but not the one i just deleted from my inbox
o use my other imap client and it sees that deleted message still in
the inbox
o i go back to mailmate but to Deleted Messages in MAILBOXES, and that
message and a hundred others are there
o right click on Deleted Messages in MAILBOXES does offer an empty
mailbox option
o i take the empty mailbox option and go back to INBOX in SOURCES.
the nine messages are there and colored red. in a minute or so they
go away
o my other imap client can no longer see that deletd message
so, Deleted Messages in MAILBOXES does not have the same semantics as
the one in SOURCES
