<p dir="auto">Well, there are two kinds of “red”:</p>
<ul>
<li><p dir="auto">A red dot (instead of the blue unread dot) means that another email client has marked it for deletion using the <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">\Deleted</code> IMAP keyword. MailMate tries to not interfere with whatever this email client is doing and is very careful about not deleting it for real.</p></li>
<li><p dir="auto">Red text in the message list means that MailMate has been told to delete the message permanently. This usually only happens for emails in “Deleted Messages”. It'll disappear when the deletion has been done server side.</p></li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">I hope that makes it a bit more clear (although I left out some details).</p>
