MessageFlags property to see if the message has been marked
for deletion, and if it has, to clear the flag so that it will not be
deleted when the mailbox is unselected:
If (ImapClient1.MessageFlags And imapFlagDeleted) <> 0 Then
ImapClient1.MessageFlags = ImapClient1.MessageFlags And Not imapFlagDeleted
End If
