It is marked DELETE.

Correct. The message will remain in status DELETE.

status DELETE = 2: message is marked for deletion
status PURGE = 3: message is marked for final removal

So:

IMAP command DELETE sets a message status=2

dbmail-util -dy sets the message status=3
dbmail-util -py removes the message all together.
