[MlMt] Cannot delete 4000 messages. Instead, they get moved, and become un-deletable.

No.

It sounds like one or more of your mailboxes are not online. Check under 
SOURCES in the mailbox list that no mailboxes are greyed out.

If a message is displayed completely in red in the message list then it 
means that it's pending to be deleted on the server. Usually this would 
be synchronized very quickly and the message would disappear. Either the 
related mailbox is not online or this synchronization somehow fails.

The reason it seems something was moved back is probably that the 
original move (to Deleted Messages) was never synchronized. When 
deleting it the second time then MailMate skips the move and tries to 
delete the message in its original mailbox. This indicates that 
“Deleted Messages” (and maybe the other folder too) is not online.

I hope this helps.
