Well, this means that if people use the traditional two-phase delete 
workflow of IMAP (i.e. "mark as deleted" at first, "remove deleted" 
second), they will get unexpected removals when Akonadi happens to sync its 
colections at the same time. This is not a high-risk problem, but it does 
introduce trouble -- the traditional workflow helps me from accidental mail 
loss (got to press "Delete" *and* something else afterwards), but Akonadi's 
behavior actively thwarts that protection.

From my point of view, this is a broken behavior and I would file a bug if 
I hit this myself. Your users might or might not expect this -- it's up to 
you to evaluate.

Cheers,
Jan
