It's nothing to do with Evolution.  All Evolution does is to tell the
IMAP system to COPY the message, then DELETE the original.  The DELETE
just marks the message as deleted.  Any other client does EXACTLY the
same thing, there is no other way of doing it with IMAP.  What other
clients may do at the end is to EXPUNGE the deleted messages, or just
hide those messages from view until an EXPUNGE is performed.

In what way "doesn't help"?  Does an expunge actually remove the
messages marked as deleted?  If not, are there any error messages?
