[MlMt] AltaMail vs. Preside?

I found a workaround for my problem, but then I stumble on a Mailmate
question :
Instead of hitting the *Delete* key, I use the *Move to Junk* command,
and the messages finally disappear from the Preside Inbox. But to me
that does not make much sense: hitting *Delete* moves the messages to a
mailbox (located above the Sources) called *Deleted Messages*, while
hitting *Move to Junk* moves them to a Junk mailbox : so I can’t
really see why one works in Preside while the other does not. With a
caveat : hitting the Move to Junk key (or shortcut) moves the messages
not to the Junk mailbox located above the Sources in the left panel, but
to another mailbox called Junk Email, located within the Sources, that I
don’t remember having created. Does that make sense, or am I missing
something?

I am also using Preside, which I find superior to Altamail, essentially
for its customisation options (although navigating these endless menus
and remembering where you are is a bit of a challenge). Besides Preside
is free while Altamail charges you for upgrades (if I understood
correctly).
There is however one problem that I seem to experience with Preside, but
which wasn’t present last year : when I delete emails on Mailmate,
they remain in the Preside Inbox, but when I move emails in Mailmate
(from the Inbox to a specific mailbox), it works OK : they disappear
from the Preside Inbox and can be found in the target mailbox. I thought
this was because the designated Deleted mailbox was different in the 2
apps, but this is not the case. This is a bit irritating (to say the
least), and I can’t seem to find a way to fix this.
