        Hi,
evolution-mapi uses real trash folder, the Deleted Items one, to move
messages marked for deletion there. As it is implemented right now, this
move is done on folder synchronization, which means either when you move
to a different folder, or when the update timeout comes (and some
similar cases which may invoke synchronization). Till this
synchronization the deleted messages are shown in its original folder,
after it, they are in the Deleted Items. On the same line depends what
the Expunge Folder will do, it may not always permanently delete
messages marked for deletion, but move them to Deleted Items folder.

Similar move-on-synchronization is done for junk messages too.
