Great explanation, thanks for that! $auto_expunge is indeed set to true in my SquirrelMail config and setting mail.imap.expunge_after_delete to true fixes my issue! Just for reference: Mozilla states about this that it's up to the mail client to either show or hide messages that are marked as deleted. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_messages_in_IMAP_accounts : >> It is perfectly appropriate for a deleted message in a IMAP account >> to be visible in webmail or other email clients.
