 I fully agree with with the following two points:
 
 1. Evolution deletes mail by putting it into a virtual folder and hiding
 the original message in your inbox.

This is not a true statement.  Evolution deletes mail by setting the
IMAP deleted flag on the message.  Evolution also adds the optional
ability to hide deleted messages from view if you want, and to have a
virtual folder that can show you all deleted messages if you want.

If you don't want evolution to hide the deleted messages, simply uncheck
the Hide Deleted Messages option in the View menu.

And if you don't want to see your deleted messages in the trash
virtual folder, just don't look there ;)

And if you want to expunge all the deleted messages out of your imap
folder, so you will never see them again, or be able to recover them,
hit ctrl-E, or select Expunge from the Folder menu.

   Example: My gnome e-mail address isn't a real e-mail address with a
   mailbox attached. It gets delivered to another E-mail address which I
   also use. Yet, I'd like to send using my gnome e-mail address in the
   From header.
  
  
  May I suggest a This account is used for sending only option, then?
 Hm... Interesting proposition i should say :). 

I also use the enabled checkbox to mean This is an empty account,
which only consists of an email address which I use to send email from.
It's very useful in many ways -- you can select the address from the
dropdown menu in the compose window, to have different personalities
with a single email account.  Evolution automatically filters that
address out in a reply-to-all, and as a bonus, selects the appropriate
reply-to: and from: headers as well as the .sig for the particular
personality the email was sent to.

Please do not kill this extremely useful functionality..

FWIW, t-bird added the ability to have multiple personalities in a
single email account (i.e. different .signatures, reply-to: and from:
headers, etc...) to solve this exact problem, as t-bird didn't have any
way to specify a disabled account, like evo does.
