  IMAP: when the trash variable is set, mutt wastes bandwidth by

  Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS
  Release:	8.04

  When using IMAP with the trash variable is set, on purging, mutt
  correctly moves deleted mail to the Trash folder. Unfortunately it
  appears to download and then reupload the unwanted message to the
  server. But with IMAP, this should be a server-side copy/move to the
  Trash folder. The current behavior is very slow (think about deleting
  thousands of messages from a mailing list) and also needlessly
  bandwidth intensive (think about deleting mail with large
  attachments.)
