Purging Deleted Messages from an IMAP Folder
Purging messages from an IMAP folder is much like the process of expuging mail in Mulberry. When purging messages from an IMAP folder (any IMAP folder), it is permanently deleted from the IMAP server.
The process of purging IMAP messages from the server bypasses the local Deleted Items folder all together therefore there are no copies of IMAP messages left in this folder.
