[MlMt] MailMate doesn’t seem to purge deleted/moved messages from the IMAP server

Hi Benny,

Thanks for replying whilst you’re on holiday, and please don’t feel 
there’s any urgency with this issue on my part (it can wait until 
you’re back!).

That’s good to know regarding offline mailboxes, but I’ve checked 
the account where I’m having this issue and every single mailbox is 
online, I can’t find any offline or sync issues.

I do have other **accounts** which are offline. Could that be causing an 
issue? For complicated and uninteresting reasons it would take me a bit 
of time to rid myself of all offline accounts. I’m hoping I can get 
this one working properly with regards to deleted messages without 
having to remove all offline accounts.

Thanks,
Jolin
