Ah yes, I forgot you use Gmail - it has it's own ideas about what
should happen because of the "labels" = "IMAP folders" thing.

The deleted message behaviour revolves around the IMAP flags - for a
message to show in the list it actually has to be in the folder (i.e.
not moved to a real trash) and if the message has the Deleted flag set
it will either not be shown or shown with a line through. So presumably
Gmail interprets the "Set Deleted Flag" IMAP operation as being "Label
as Trash" and so only shows the message in the Trash folder.

(BTW, I realise you probably know this, but it might help someone who
doesn't)
