        Hi,
what is your setup for the POP3 account? I suppose you have checked
"Delete expunged from local Inbox", which may explain why it tries to
contact the server and drop messages from there. The POP3 accounts don't
have any real offline handling, they are just downloading messages
locally, and this new feature is able to delete them from the server
too.

Nonetheless, it's a bug, as mentioned by Pete in this thread, please
file it in Gnome's bugzilla and post a bug link here, thus people
interested in the bug can follow it.
        Thanks and bye,
        Milan
