If you expunge just before quitting Evo, then as far as explicit deletes
go you're OK. However the backend still keeps filtering new mail, and
every filter rule which refiles messages in folders is actually copying
them and deleting the original, so we're back where we started.

This drove me crazy till I figured it out :-)

Another argument for server-side filtering, which Evo doesn't
support ...
