Quoting "E. John Messersmith III" <e...@ejm3.net>:
I have been a catalog.com member for years and because they recently started to offer IMAP email access I decided to switch my Gmail IMAP account over to webhero so that everything would be in one place. I have experienced a difference between how IMAP is implemented on webhero.com. I have successfully configured Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail (Vista) and my iPhone to connect and send and receive emails via webhero.com. However, when I move a message from one folder to another or delete a message using ANY of the above clients (except my iPhone), the effected message REMAINS in the current folder and is simply marked for deletion. On my iPhone it works properly or should I say like a POP3 account. I would consider that this is (purely) a client side feature issue EXCEPT for the fact that all the clients listed above worked properly with Gmail IMAP with no additional settings. Therefore, there must be some IMP/Horde or IMAP configuration that can be set in order for messages to be moved to the trash when they are deleted using a remote client. NOTE: When a message is deleted using the web/horde online interface it is moved to the trash and does NOT remain in the current folder is NOT marked for deletion. This is due to the fact that I have selected the option in the Horde interface to operate in this manner.
My guess is that Gmail is simply hiding any message with a deleted flag. That is not necessarily the 'proper' behavior - since those messages are technically still a part of the mailbox. Indeed, the client has to do quite a bit of magic on its side - counting deleted messages, subtracting that count from the # of messages reported in the mailbox - in order to implement this sort of view.
This is more of a client configuration issue - you should configure those clients to expunge deleted messages on exit, since that appears to be the behavior you are looking for.
