Description: Deleting Folders

.	Delete models (Each test case in this test plan should be completed while using each of the following delete models.)	Notes	Expected Outcome (if not obvious)
1	Trash (while using IMAP or Local mail)	These delete models could be completely different in mail5.	.
2	IMAP delete model	The "drag to trash" test cases will have either no applicability here, or if there is a local trash that can be accessed, that should be used as the drag target.	.
3	"Really delete" model	.	.

.	Access methods (can be performed while following the test cases contained in other tables)	Notes	Expected Outcome (if not obvious)
1	Drag to trash	.	.
2	Drag to a trash in a different context (different Local/IMAP location, or on a different server, if possible with our UI)	More instances of this may be added after the product is further defined.	.
