I am not aware about how K-9 is implemented (and even less aware about 
Outlook™, of course), but generally deleting and expunging messages over IMAP 
have nothing to do with folders with any magic names like ‘TRASH’.  ‘Deleted’ 
mail is simply flagged as ‘\Deleted’, but is still there (in the current 
folder) and could be undeleted, while ‘expunged’ means really removed (again, 
from the current folder).  (‘Really removed’ not in a paranoid sense of the 
word, of course, just that space it occupied may be reused.)

This is usual behaviour, but nothing prevents the IMAP server you use to 
execute your commands in another way.  Moreover, it may be configurable on 
server side.  And, as far as remember, Google Mail (about which, I presume, you 
are talking) _do_ have such settings.  They are also well known for breaking 
old behaviour.  So maybe what you described was due to some changes on the 
server rather than in user-agent?
