SV: What causes mails to get striked-over only, and not deleted?

[Sebastian Nielsen]

Thanks.
That solved the problem.
Finally got rid of all duplicate items in sent folder. (Because of some mail clients not supporting disabling "Save a copy in sent folder when sending").

But why isn't this documented in the documentation?

That means the message has had its "\Deleted" flag set, which is what
the discard command does:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6785#section-3.5

But the mailbox has not been "expunged". You probably want to set
"imapsieve_expunge_discarded=yes"; see:
