I guess that would be me.

Well, there are two kinds of “red”:

* A red dot (instead of the blue unread dot) means that another email 
client has marked it for deletion using the `\Deleted` IMAP keyword. 
MailMate tries to not interfere with whatever this email client is doing 
and is very careful about not deleting it for real.

* 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.

I hope that makes it a bit more clear (although I left out some 
details).
