hi Lex,

I don't know quite a lot about IMAP.

I just know courier and cyrus and how the way they work with TB.
With them TB expunge the message if I delete it by SHIFT+DEL.

What I can see with courier is if I press DEL, it marks the message as 
deleted and copy it to Trash. I say this, because it leaves the marked 
message in the mailbox (maildir) and for example I can see and undelete 
it by mutt.
If I press SHIFT+DEL, it does not move the message to Trash, only marks 
it as deleted.

I apologize if I was not exact and I didn't use the right phrases.

Thank you,
