This is just Evo's aggressive caching. If you switch to another folder
and then back again, you should find that the deleted messages
disappear. AFAIK there's no other way of forcing Evo to resynch with the
server (other than restarting it, which you've already discovered :-).

In fact even Send/Receive will not do it, which I for one consider a
mistake. After all, if the user has explicitly indicated he's willing to
wait for a potentially slow operation, why not take the opportunity of
resynching even if there's no new mail?
