Sorry, I sent that mail too early: Debian version  3.0.3-2, POP3
account. It does not happen on the IMAP account I have.

The move I talk about is to move from either POP3 or IMAP to a local
folder. For the POP3 account moved mail disappear and for IMAP they are
marked as deleted, but not expunged. I have requested that the mails are
kept on the server until expunged (maybe this does not work for POP3)
