[Dovecot] Can't delete certain messages

Running Dovecot version 1.0.10 on Ubuntu Server 8.04 amd64 (ext3).

Some users have emails that will not go away.  They delete them and the 
message is moved to the trash folder only to reappear when the mailbox 
is refreshed.  Moving the message manually to another folder has the 
same effect.  We are running Thunderbird as our email client, though I 
have tried using other clients to remove the messages.

Here is my config:

# 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login

     driver: passwd
#End dovecot.conf

Thanks in advance.
