dovecot - Dec 2006 - Lazy expunge plugin

There's now a plugin called lazy_expunge in CVS. Instead of EXPUNGE
expunging the mails directly, they're moved to a mailbox with same name
in another namespace where user can still copy the mails back. Also
DELETEd mailboxes are moved to another namespace.

See http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge for more information.

This is similar to Cyrus's two phase expunge:

In rc15 and previous, it isn't possible for thunderbird clients to delete a
folder in
a public namespace if the thunderbird client is configured to move deleted items
to a
trash folder (which is presumably in a private namespace).  The error message
says:

"Can't rename mailbox to another storage type"

Does this version of dovecot remove that problem?

Thanks,
Mark
