You can follow the instructions in this KB article to turn off compression
so mail will be immediately purged when it's deleted:

running an AV scanner on a mailbox.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Feature request, deleting deleted mail
Hi Tripp,

Might I put in a feature request? I have problems with deleted mail still
showing up as well. In my case it's with f-prot scanning all mailboxes and
finding virusses in mails which have allready been deleted but not yet
purged.
We use IMAP a lot and I have f-prot scan all mailboxes once a week to
report on virusses in mailboxes which went through at a time the virus
scanners did not recognise the virus yet. For a while now I have 4
mailboxes which still have a virus in a mail which is allready deleted.
But, because that specific folder in the mailbox never get's more deleted
mails, these few mails don't get deleted as well. They therefore keep
showing up in my weekly scan and each time I have to make sure the
reported virusses are indeed the ones in the deleted mails.
I would verry much like a feature to force purging of all deleted mails,
either per mailbox or per domain. I could live with a button in the IMail
administrator, or what came in it's place. But maybe a command or a
commandline option so I can script it for the middle of the night might be
prefferable. As IMAP get's used more and more and people start storing
mail more, we will have more folders where mail almost never gets deleted,
so I assume this problem will only increase.
Groetjes,
