Next I tell thunderbird to mark certain messages as spam and delete email I marked as spam. I quit it and go back to pine. The spam marked messages which thunderbird swore were deleted are still there.
In IMAP, message deletion is a two step process. The second part is called "expunge", and you do that in Thunderbird by selecting "Compact" on a folder. There are options to do it automatically in Account Settings, too. Check it out, and ask further questions on a Thunderbird list :-).
