I like the IMAP model, it's a lot more straightforward. Having a mailbox

But… Ehr… can I ask how gmail handles delete/expunge?
I don't know how the internals work, but when you 'delete' a message, it
just removes the current label. So when you delete a message in the Inbox,
it just goes to All Mail and any other labels it already had. It
corresponds to the 'archive' command in the web interface. It is not
instantaneous, you have to expunge the messages before they leave the
mailbox.
To truly delete a message you need to save it to the Trash box. This is
instantaneous. As soon as you save it, it leaves the box you were in. Most
clients I've used use a 'save and delete' method of moving, so after you
save a message to a different box, the one in the current box gets marked as
deleted until you expunge it.
