Solr FTS - message deletes not working as expected

I tried evolution on Linux.

I can't work out how to do an expunge in evolution.  I'm not sure that 
it CAN do it.  Whenever I delete a message, even with shift-delete, it 
is moved to the Trash folder (with delete and add sent to Solr), and 
then emptying the trash does delete from Solr.  This is exactly how 
Thunderbird works with "normal" deletes.

I use shift-delete in Thunderbird a lot.  Because when I delete a 
message, I really want it gone, I do not want another step to remember 
later -- emptying the trash folder.

The FTS behavior on sending a message with Thunderbird seems completely 
wrong.  When I send a message with evolution, I do see a delete in the 
solr log, but there are still two results in a query for the special 
text I included in the message, so something is still not quite right.

I couldn't get Windows Mail to connect to my email account. Even with 
their advanced settings.  I enter all the right information, and it just 
fails to connect.  There are only "Use SSL" checkboxes, and I have no 
idea what port/security settings it's using.  I can't tell it to use 
STARTTLS instead of mandatory TLS, or to use port 143 for imap and 587 
for submission.  I think that I did see a successful imap login in the 
mail.log from the attempt to add the account, but I had other clients 
running so it is difficult to be sure about that. I will have to close 
all my other clients (which includes an Android client) and try the 
connect again.  When the account setup fails to connect, it doesn't have 
an option to add the account anyway (which Thunderbird does have), so I 
can't edit the account settings.

The android client seems to not have an expunge option for deleting 
messages either.  It goes through Trash.

Thanks,
