Under the gmail IMAP model, deleting a message from a folder removes the label (that is the folder). But "moving" a message to the [Gmail]/Trash folder semantically moves it to the trash (which then self-empties after 30 days). We currently move the message to trash, so the message will end up getting deleted. Most e-mail apps out there, including Thunderbird, have adapted to handle gmail specifically by default to just remove the label. We should do that too. Juwei, I think this is the right thing to do from a UX perspective, but I am needinfo-ing you since you get to make the official call! Implementation notes: - IMAP's do_delete job has a comment about this gmail case that is misleading; no gmail-specific logic was ever implemented. - IMAP's do_delete shunts to do_move with a target of the trash folder. Rather than further complicate the move logic, we should probably just shunt to do_modtags under the hood keyed off of whether the server is gmail or not. Gmail Context/docs: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78892 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/77657 iOS support docs on their behaviour which is interesting in that they also seem to try and change verbiage/icons in some, if not all, spots: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4207 (Note that we currently do not implement an archive capability, though Thunderbird has one.)

Hi Andrew, I think it's good to have a special portal for Gmail, and I haven't seen any UX impact here... so it's fine with me :)
