Yes, if you delete something from a Gmail folder it will not really be
deleted (until you move it into the Trash or Spam folders).

I think you can set realdelete=True (or a similar config name), to move
all mails to be deleted to the "Trash" folder thus expunging them
permanently.

Does this help?
