So, let me make sure I understand this correctly.  Expunge, iirc,
deletes everything marked for deletion, and ZEND calls expunge
immediately after you mark something for deletion, which is not quite
right (but, makes imap behave more like pop).  It is unlikely the
class maintainers are going to change that.

How is the ArrayAccess broken?  The key=>message mapping should change
every time you call delete.
