This is how I originally envisioned the feature and thus coded an  
optional delete
flag on all Chandler Folders so that the messages could be removed  
from the server
on download.

With the performance work done at the end of Preview, the downloading  
and saving of mail
were separated in to two separate tasks on two different threads.  
Thus I will need to do some clean up
work to again get the delete feature set working as now the tracking  
logic is much more complex.
But it is very doable.

As far as not stamping Tasks and Events that arrive via Chandler  
Folders as
Mail that of course is very doable as well. The primary question is  
however:
Is there ever a case where the use does want to preserve the mailness  
of a
Task or Event?
