Go to the View menu and uncheck 'Show Deleted Messages'


Yes. It is (kinda) how it is intended to work. When you delete a
message, you actually mark it as deleted, but it stays in the folder
(this was modeled after IMAP). The trash is actually a virtual folder
which shows deleted messages from every folder (unless you configure it
to be an actual folder).
The 'Show Deleted Messages' lets you view the messages marked as deleted
on its original folder, before they are purged. Most of times you don't
want that option to be active, though.

Kind regards
