[mew-int 02115] Expunging deleted IMAP messages?

I couldn't find an answer to this in any docs that I have been able to locate:

I'm using mew to access my IMAP email.  If I delete a message (command `d'),
it gets marked with a "D", but I don't know how to expunge it from the IMAP
repository.  I don't want the expunge to happen automatically when I do a delete,
but rather, I'd like it to occur later on as a result of some sort of command
that I can invoke.

Is there a way to do this, and if so, how?

Thanks in advance.

Typing "d" puts the delete mark. To delete messages marked with the
delete mark, type "x".

This moves messages to the %trash folder. To delete messages in
%trash, "d"+"x" or "D".

If you don't to want to move a message and really delete it, type M-d
to put the unlink mark. And type "x".

Thank you very much!

By the way, so far, I like mew, and my congratulations to you for a
well-written piece of software.  I had been using wanderlust for a while,
but it seems simpler in mew to do most of the commonly performed email
tasks.  I now am going to try to switch to mew, and to see how well it
continues to serve me (and I'm optimisitic about this).

[mew-int 02118] Navigating through IMAP folders?

My IMAP setup is structured in the following manner:

  INBOX         (empty ... just a root to the folder tree)
  INBOX.user1   (messages from user1)
  INBOX.user2   (messages from user2)
  INBOX.user3   (messages from user3)
  ... etc. ...

When I start up mew, it points me to the %inbox folder, which corresponds to
"INBOX", above.  I know that I can type the `g' command and the subfolder
name in order to view messages in a specific subfolder (for example, I know
that I can type "g" followed by "%user1" to view messages in the "INBOX.user1"
folder).

Is there any way that I can cause the entire folder list to appear in
an emacs buffer, followed by the total number messages and the number of
unread messages?

For my setup, I'd like to see something similar to this:

  %inbox            0     0
  %user1          123     2
  %user2           47     1
  %user3           12     0
  ... etc. ...

Also, I'd like to be able to navigate up and down this list and to select
a given folder, at which time I end up in its summary list (as if I typed
"g" + "%" + folder-name).

Hello,

In order to get really bold unread mark the code in .mew-theme.el must
be:

(mew-face-spec-set
 'mew-face-mark-unread
 '((((class color) (type tty)) (:foreground "green" :bold t))
   (((class color) (background light)) (:foreground "ForestGreen" :bold

[mew-int 02123] bug in mew-smtp-command-auth-plain

[CVS 2006-Feb-28]

To make mew work with the SMTP host I use, it was necessary to change
mew-smpt-command-auth-plain as follows.

  (defun mew-smtp-command-auth-plain (pro pnm) 
    (let* ((user (mew-smtp-get-auth-user pnm))
           (prompt (format "SMTP PLAIN password (%s): " user))
           (passwd (mew-smtp-input-passwd prompt pnm))
           (plain (mew-base64-encode-string
             (format "%s\0%s\0%s" user user passwd))))
      (mew-smtp-process-send-string pro "AUTH PLAIN %s" plain)
      (mew-smtp-set-status pnm "auth-plain")))

Note the changed format string.  It took me a loooong time to find
this out.

With older mew versions it worked just fine, this is, the mail has
been forwarded to the local sendmail process which in turn used the
/etc/mail/auth-info file to send the mail on demand.  I'm no longer
able to get this behaviour back.

[mew-int 02124] NNTP problem

The news server I use has an extremely long expiration time of news.
An entry in tin's `.newsrc' file shows

  comp.text.tex: 1-188530990

It takes ages with mew to start retrieving the headers!  Even if I use
the `last: xxx' option of the `s' key, mew reads far too much data --
more than 20 minutes on my 20kByte/s internet connection.

The tin newsreader has an option `getart_limit' as follows:

   Number of articles to get (getart_limit)

     If getart_limit is > 0 not more than getart_limit articles/group
     are fetched from the server.  If getart_limit is < 0 tin will
     start fetching articles from your first unread minus absolute
     value of getart_limit.  Default is 0, which means no limit.

Setting this to, say, -200, reduces the start-up time with tin to a
useful value -- it now longer tries to fetch data for 70000
articles...

Does mew already have such an option?  I haven't been able to find it.

BTW, if you use `g' to go to a newsgroup `foo', and you haven't
pressed `2Z' yet to retrieve the list of available newsgroup, mew says
something like

  no newsgroup `foo'
