In the context of IMAP (internet Message Access Protocol), "expunge" refers to the process of permanently removing messages that have been marked for deletion. When a user deletes an email, it is usually marked but not immediately removed from the server; the expunge command clears these marked messages from the mailbox. This action is crucial for maintaining an organized mailbox and freeing up server storage. After expunging, the deleted emails cannot be recovered.
