Replying to my original message with the "answer"...

Evolution does not have a true Junk or Trash folder. These are actually
vFolders that check for the correct flag among the entire IMAP folders.
Since IMAP doesn't support the "move" command (It's implemented via
Copy+Delete) any moved message will appear in the Trash folder (because
the original message is still there... A copy was created, and the
original was flagged as deleted)

It is the "correct" way of using IMAP, but it conflicts with how other
clients works. For exemple: if I move stuff from one folder to another
in Thunderbird (I have filters that do that automagicaly) The original
message is deleted. But if I do that in evolution, the original message
is Flagged, not entirely deleted... and the message now count 2 times in
my quota...


I found a 2001 (7years old!) report in Evolution's bugzilla asking for
the "other" behavior as an option:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206061

I'm going to try Kmail again it seems...
