You need to find out which folder the messages are actually in -
remember Trash is a virtual folder that contains a list of all the
deleted messages in all the folders of that account.  Probably the
easiest way of finding where they really are is to add a "Location"
column to the Trash folder.  You'll probably find that the messages are
in some read-only folder somewhere that you had forgotten about.
