Since it's unclear whether getmail is failing in the decision logic or
whether server deletes are generally a problem, a test run was done with
SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever and "delete = true".  In this case, the error
results:

'No mailbox exists with name "~/mail/yahoo_deleted.mbox"'

It's lying.  "ls ~/mail/yahoo_deleted.mbox" reveals the file that was
made with touch.  So it looks like there are 3 bugs at this point:

1. "delete_after = 90" doesn't trigger detection of msgs with a "Date:" ~7 
years past.
2. "delete_dup_msgids = true" is not inhibiting storage of msgs with duplicate 
IMAP-generated IDs.
3. "move_on_delete" fails with error falsely claiming the mailbox does not 
exist.
