This sounds like the deleted messages mailbox of the account is offline. 
Check the mailbox used for deleted messages under SOURCES.

If the account is online then the delay should be very short. MailMate 
tries to do it immediately, but when moving something to deleted 
messages then MailMate does not delete it from the source mailbox before 
it knows the message is in the destination mailbox (which never happens 
if that mailbox is offline).

Yes, but I don't recommend using it unless I've suggested it myself (or 
MailMate suggests it and in that case I would appreciate a bug report). 
Your problem does not appear to be related to a corrupt database.
