That's the IMAP way, you have to explicitly "expunge" before the
message gets deleted. Since moving consists of copy and delete, the
old message hangs around until you expunge it. With one client it's
fine, but put mutt or OWA into the mix and things become confusing...
Anyone know if there's a way of changing Evolutions's behaviour ie so
that when I delete a message it get's moved to the Trash?
I recently struggled to make thunderbird do this; it requires fiddling
with behind-the-scenes variables (expunge_after_delete in
about:config). A quick google suggests the default for Evolution is
to expunge on program exit or in response to ctrl-e, but nothing
seemed to come up about automagically doing it. I think it's not
common because it puts more load on the server.
Odd that you say that - I thought I'd try Thunderbird again, and it has
an option "When I delete a message - Move it to the Trash". Seems to
work too. It also has a nice option "Expunge on Exit".
So problem solved - I'll just use Evolution when I have to work with
Exchange.
