Going gray

October 10th, 2005

Today I’m hating on Mail.app (10.4). Why can I suddenly not delete messages anymore? Instead of disappearing, they turn gray (first message in the screenshot below):

If I go over to the IMAP server in question, the message is flagged deleted; expunging it and then refreshing Mail.app causes the gray message to disappear. It certainly didn’t always work this way.
