Not entirely true on IMAP - there is now a "MOVE" primitive which Evo will use if it's available and that isn't implemented as a COPY+DELETE, but is a true MOVE. Hence there are no deleted messages to be purged - so you are (probably) correct that Evo doesn't do a purge, but the overall effect is that it looks like it has. Confused me no end when it first happened.
