Hi,
try to run Evolution from console, and see what it says, if anything, in
time of deleting the message.
One thing I do not understand from your description, when you delete
message (press a Del button), the message is marked as deleted and
either is removed from the message list or shown there with a strike out
font. It should be also visible in the account's Trash folder. Because
your Folder->Expunge does correct thing, then the message is marked as
deleted. Thus I guess your UI is not showing the right thing, does it do
at least one of the above mentioned? Maybe the index for a Trash folder
is corrupted for some reason; you can try to stop Evolution and move out
your ~/.evolution/mail/imap/<account>/folders.db file, but as it
contains all your account index, then the next start will take some
time, till it fills it again. Or you can drop only all Trash related
tables from there, but it's not as that easy to do. If something goes
wrong, then return the folders.db file back.
Yes the message was indeed marked with a strike out font, but it was
never sent to the trash folder. I did already remove my .evolution
folder and restarted evolution again, and now the emails at least get
moved to the trash folder when deleted. The only thing I see now, is
when I close/exit evolution it doesn't automatically empty the trash
folder, and it is set in my preferences to do it every time.
