Description dave 2003-04-16 11:43:59 UTC 
If I go to my "pan.sent" folder and delete a message, it disappears from
the article list, but the file in .pan/messages/folders/pan.sent is not
deleted.

Next time you start Pan, the message is back.

If you create a new folder, then delete it, the directory is not removed,
so next time you start Pan, the folder is back.

I have had a quick look in the source and I can't see where the
files/directories are unlinked.

Deleting articles in folders was broken because of a bug,
and is fixed now:

http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=ANNOUNCE.html&rev1=1.131&rev2=1.132&root=/cvs/gnome

However, unlinking directories on "delete folder" is a separate issue,
and intentionally unimplemented right now.  If you'll file an
enhancement request for that, I'll earmark it for a future release.
