[PATCH] Support hiding deleted IMAP messages

[Nikolaus Rath]

Package: gnus
Tags: patch

Hello,

The attached patch introduces a new server variable,
nnimap-hide-deleted. If non-nil, articles with the IMAP \Deleted flag
will not be included in Summary buffers.

This is intended to increase operability with other IMAP mailreaders and
the new 'never value for nnimap-expunge (see patch in bug 20670).

Thanks for considering.

Best,
-Nikolaus

Hi Nikolaus,

I am in no way qualified to speak on behalf of Gnus and its developers,
but I did want to say thank you very much for these patches -- it will
be great to see Gnus gradually mature as an IMAP client. The development
of Gnus seems to go by fits and starts, as people have time to devote to
it, particular for relatively deep-plumbing areas like this, so it's
possible you won't get much response for a while -- don't be
discouraged! I'm on the road with a temporary computer now, but will be
happy to run your patches once I'm back home, and report any
problems/comments.

Thanks!
Eric
