I don't think MOVE is the same as DELETE (although they might be the

Actually Evo uses MOVE+DELETE. Deleted messages remain in place until
expunged, but note that the IMAP EXPUNGE command operates on the
entire folder, i.e. there is no such thing as EXPUNGE{id}. This is
where most other MUAs get it wrong IMHO.

That is incorrect.  If the IMAP server advertises the UIDPLUS extensions
[and, AFAIK, virtually all modern IMAP servers do;  Cyrus does,
Groupwise does] then the client can request to expunge only specific
messages [by message UID, if I recall correctly].
