That is an older model for how deletion is done in IMAP, but I'm not sure why MM would do that for one account and not others or why it would show the deleted but not yet expunged messages.

IMO that’s the only correct way to use IMAP, but I’m a dinosaur :-) My guess is that MailMate uses its “normal” Delete model for the account, but that perhaps Xfinity IMAP server doesn’t support \Junk flags, and so SpamSieve falls back on storing a \Deleted flag instead. That is pure conjecture on my part, but it would explain the behavior.
