<p dir="auto">No, this is a different issue. Various email clients have different strategies for deleting and/or moving emails. A red dot means that the message is marked as <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">\Deleted</code> (a reserved IMAP keyword). It'll stay like this until K-9 decides to expunge it (IMAP language for permanently deleting <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">\Deleted</code> messages). Some times this happens as soon as you select a different mailbox (with K-9). Some times it's a different strategy. And I have feeling that some times some email clients forget to do this.</p>
<p dir="auto">MailMate is careful about only expunging message it deleted itself and messages are only very briefly marked as <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">\Deleted</code> when this is done.</p>
