reply from the server, that is, the server it telling you that the
messages 4386 and 4385 were expunged. You did not expunge them, the server did. I imagine Yahoo has a setting to stop the expunge from happening.

Question for you: Is there any way to turn off or remap the 'D' (delete)
key in Alpine. I accidentally hit D this morning, and it deleted the
message forever.

available in two screens (index and message view) you would have to do it twice. You can remap it to do anything. For example, to save the message
to a folder and then delete the message.
This is a link to the patch

I hope this helps.

I installed the Rules patch and rebuilt Alpine. I added a simple rule to map Delete key to Save like this:
key-definition-rules="_SCREEN_ == {index} && _FOLDER_ == {Yahoo} && _PKEY_ == {d} => _COMMAND_{s}"
and it works great! I added similar rule for {text} screen.
Thanks Eduardo!
Regards,
Sri.

How do I specify a folder collection in a save rule? The following rule defaults to <Mail>/YahooTrash
save-rules="_FOLDER_ == {Yahoo} => _SAVE_{YahooTrash}"
but I would like to save in Incoming-Folders/YahooTrash.

see now it is needed. Let me think little bit about how to do that. If
you want to suggest a solution, I'd love to read your ideas too.
Thank you!
