Thanks a lot again, Pete, for your help answers. This is a helpful
explanation. I turned on "Show Deleted Messages" but fortunately no
emails were just "marked as deleted" in the IMAP folders (just in the
local folders which is a different story). But I will keep it that way
to monitor any ill behaviour.

Thanks again for reminding me of the archive function. And I learnt
that now it just "moves" the email to a specific folder which can be an
IMAP folder which will be synced again.

And I found out how to change the shortcut, key combination to archive
it as ctrl-alt-a was a bit clumsy to be used often. For the records and
other interested people. Just edit ~/.config/evolution/accels, delete
the ; in front of a edited line and I used following to archive with
simple key "a":
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/mail/mail-archive" "a") 

Thanks again for your help! It was worth to email and to learn new
things!
Have a great weekend, D. :)
