Comment 33 for bug 13983

From #25 Just lost over 800 deleted emails.

My response: so what? didn't you just deleted them?
If you didn't want to lose them, you shouldn't have deleted them in the first place.
If you wanted to keep them, just not in your inbox, you should've stored them in an folder.

TRASH IS NOT AN ARCHIVE!
Trash is prevent accidents, nothing more!

let me make one thing clear, if you're using trash as an archive of your messages, YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

I am voting strongly against this feature request, because there IS s a reason it is specified this way in IMAP.
The only sad part is that evolution is about the only mailclient that does it the right way, and all others are using POP3 style on IMAP servers. (It's like running a steam train on electrified rails, and complaining there are no water and coal points along the track.)
