Out of Topic: IMAP

[James R. Stevens]

To provide my 2 cents worth we looked at using secure certificates and
digital signatures in an IMAP environment which looked very
promising(Cyrus and WU implementations) but we were getting confused
with the process of deleting mail(messages) a person (Client) had marked
for deletion.

Hope that made sense.

If I remember there were scripted routines that would do the 'actual'
delete function of messages that had been flagged for that purpose by
the IMAP client.

 Would you care to provide the tool you use to repair the corruption, 
please? I have looked (half-heartedly) for a tool that would do this,
and 
although I have found a few, none seem to be really all that great.

Thanks,
