dovecot - Mar 2017 - UID Purge?

Hi,

I've just migrated to Dovecot from cyrus-imapd, and I notice that when I 
move emails from one folder to another they appear to be automatically 
marked deleted (expected) and also purged (not expected). With cyrus, I 
am used to emails being marked deleted, but still existing until a 
manual purge (expunge).

Is this normal behaviour with Dovecot, and is it configurable?

Thanks.

Kevin.

Does this happen if you do this on wire?

telnet localhost 143
a LOGIN username password
s SELECT INBOX
s STORE 1:1 FLAGS (\Deleted) # or some other message-set
n NOOP
l LOGOUT

you could try looking at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog to
find out.

In the rawlog files I get a few lines of text

1 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE 
IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS 
THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN

ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE NAMESPACE 
NOTIFY SPECIAL-USE COMPRESS=DEFLATE QUOTA] Logged in
2 OK Begin compression (0.000 + 0.000 secs).

then a lot of binary. How do I read it?
