As others have said (and I've now found by experimenting) the IMAP
delete just removes the label - so the mail doesn't appear anywhere
unless you select "All Mail".

This is surely a Google "feature" and not something that Evo can (or
should) deal with.

No. Because of the way IMAP works moving mail to a "Trash" folder will
cause too many problems - IMAP has a method for dealing with deleted
mail (i.e. mark as deleted, then expunge) for a reason and fiddling with
it creates too many other cludges elsewhere.  There are lots of
discussions on this list in the past about it.

So because Gmail decides to break a standard, Evo has to program around
it?
