They are deleted; the issue is the 'definition' of "deleted".  Simply
do not display Deleted messages, problem solved.

Yes, and it does.

No, you always need both.  IDLE will idle-out;  for some reason I
recall the default being 24 minutes, but I have no idea if that is true
- and that it is server side anyway.  

My recommendation is to enable IDLE and set check to every 60 minutes. 
 Also make sure you have Quick Resync enabled.
