In your Mail & News Prefs; Read tab, there is the option to 'Hide IMAP
messages marked for deletion.' That will hide messages that are marked with
the line through them.
The message you have 'deleted' from one folder, which are hence displayed
with the line through them, will not be removed until you choose Edit 'Purge
deleted items.' Doing so will permanently delete all marked messages from
the folder.
You can tune the settings in the Account Edit window for that IMAP account,
under the Advanced tab. From Tools menu choose Accounts, then edit the
account in question, and click the Advanced tab.
Hope that helps.
