Well, a deleted mail gets flagged as such on the server side, so any 
IMAP client would see it's marked as such so should work just fine. If 
you find a client who decides to try to be smart, and keep track itself 
of what it has deleted, without marking it as such on the server, bin it 
quick.

I believe there's a setting on can turn on/off, so depends on 
preferences, I suppose.

Oh so true...

Having your client not showing the mails marked as deleted is a good 
first step. Secondly, expunging them, via <whatever> means is the better 
way, all round. How you do it, I leave to the casual reader of distro 
wars here on radio ILUG.
