I'am sure that no other clients touches my mail via IMAP. I see it via
mail.log.

Applied filter "Gtk+ Lists" to message from ikorot earthlink net - "Re:
How to make a strikethrough font?" at Sun, 13 Feb 2011 22:02:07
Action: Move to folder email://1294813613 3198 4 ubook local/Lists/gtk
Action: Stopped processing

As visible via logs from IMAP servers there is no DELETE command sent to
server for original message in inbox. So it's not "move" but only COPY.
