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 `\Deleted` (a reserved IMAP keyword). It'll stay 
like this until K-9 decides to expunge it (IMAP language for permanently 
deleting `\Deleted` 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.

MailMate is careful about only expunging message it deleted itself and 
messages are only very briefly marked as `\Deleted` when this is done.
