IMAP: "immediate" delete, without going through Trash folder?

I currently filter some message from my inbox with these steps:

select inbox
pick messages
set \Deleted tag

and then repeat the process after selecting Trash.

Is there a more direct way of disposing of these messages? Or is it just the feature of the Mail server that deleting a message puts it in the trash, and deleting from the trash permantently disposes of it?

Solution

  • I believe you have to call EXPUNGE after setting the tag Deleted.
