purge with dbmail-utils

That's what I thought...

So what _should_ happen is:
 - delete a message in mail client.
 - run dbmail-util -dy to set a message for deletion.
 - run dbmail-util -py to purge the message marked deleted.

Pressing the purge button in outlook shouldn't be necessery
then, the
first unix command -dy should be the equivalant to the purge
button in
outlook. Am I right here?

That doesn't work in my setup.
I found out what happened:
Deleting a message sets deleted_flag to 1 AND _should_ set
status to 2.
(Outlook Express doesn't do this!!)
dbmail-util -dy sets status to 3 if status = 2
dbmail-util -py executes a DELETE FROM query

In contrast to outlook express, my webmail client sets the
status to 2
correctly!

Because Outlook Express doesn't, it messes up the mailcount
that is used
my webmail client. Because the message has deleted_flag set
to 1 it
doesn't display the message, but the mailcount includes
deleted
messages that are not status=2.

What is the story about status and *_flag??

It seems pretty redundant to me...
