For those who missed start of the thread: it is dedicated to IMAP access
to Gmail and Evolution behavior.

What will happen if you try to "compact" the "All Mail" folder? I am
unsure concerning precise name of such action in evolution. In
thunderbird delete vs. mark for deletion setting is account-wide and can
not be chosen per folder. However even when "delete" is chosen, messages
may be retained in folders till they are automatically compacted or this
action is forced by user.
Moving the message from "Inbox" to another folder in the same email
account, for example "Spam", DOES remove the message from "All Mail".
That does not make sense to me!
It is better to experiment with a custom label. Spam or Trash are rather
special cases (perhaps on both sides: client and server).
I am reluctant to test moving a message from one email account to
another one, as I do not do not want to have an another unexpected
problem occur, and I do want to keep the email accounts strictly
isolated from each other.
Almost certainly messages may be deleted from web UI. Anyway a couple of
test messages should not cause real mess.
