Bug Description
In VM, messages are marked for deletion but they are only physically removed from the folder when doing an expunge.
Instead of actually deleting them we could also let them die slowly, i.e. only really delete them after they expire a given period. This would ensure that they do not get lost accidentally and could be resurrected if required while still getting them out of view.
