RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 377900

Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.0 (20070326)

I use Tuffmail.com for my IMAP email (really awesome IMAP service) and upon upgrading to TB 2.0.0.0, when I browse the message-list pane the delete button on the toolbar is greyed out; also the delete key on the keyboard does nothing (no error box, no typical "i deleted this IMAP-style" strikethrough on an individual email).  Connecting to an alternate IMAP service (work) seems to work perfectly fine.  Also, moving messages between folders on the tuffmail account generates the proper strikethrough-deleted copies in the source folder, and the compact button will clean those up, but I still can't use the delete key to 'undelete'.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. The delete button is just always greyed out in the interface for Tuffmail IMAP accounts, but it didn't used to be.

Actual Results:  
Deleting messages is pretty much impossible, unless I resort to the non-IMAP-way of deleting and _manually_ drag-n-dropping messages into the Trash folder.

Expected Results:  
If the button were available, the delete key would let me mark messages as IMAP-deleted.

I am using an upgraded-profile as a result of just upgrading TB to 2.0.0.0 from 1.5.0.8.  I have not tried renaming my $HOME/.thunderbird/ folder and starting fresh yet.
Sounds DUP of Bug 377900.
