Nope.  Go read the list archives to find some fun flame wars on this
topic.

No, although having a REAL Trash folder is high on many folks' wishlists
and the Evo hackers claim it'll be done some day.  Meanwhile, they are
marked for deletion, which makes them appear in Evolution's "Trash
folder" (actually just a vFolder).  As you've noted, they will only be
deleted from the server when you expunge.  But go to View->Hide Deleted
Messages and you won't see them in your regular folders once you mark
them for deletion.

As an aside, Evolution also has another handy feature to limit the mail
you have to look at, with View->Hide Read Messages (and View->Show
Hidden Messages to see them again).  I use that one a lot.

As far as the Connector issues, I have no idea.  I'm lucky enough not to
have to use MS Exchange =)
