As I understand it the usual process is that DELE marks a message for
deletion which occurs later at the disconnect.  However, I think this
probably varies with the mail server and as far as I know there is no
requirement that it occur this way.

More than likely it is a result of the way messages are stored in the
unix format mail boxes - which are just stacked in on top of each
other.  So the mailbox has to be completely rewritten.
