It prevents the deletion of emails that the same login client, on a
different box setup for imap, from losing their email corpus. And
dovecot doesn't have an individual client config choice that they could
enable just for the 3 or 4 of us that use fetchmail or its workalike
cousins (getmail?) and keep our own email corpus in tde-kmail. I can and
do clean up with a web browser as the webmail interface does let you
clean it out. So I do that about daily.
