Ximian Evolution question

[Kareem Shehata]

IIRC IMAP allows a few different ways of killing messages.  The most
common that I've seen is to mark a message for deletion, then later all
marked messages can be purged.

There are a number web front-ends for IMAP. I use SquirrelMail ( see
<http://squirrelmail.org> )  though I'm sure other people on the list
can suggest many others.
