Probably, plus something else. IMAP rules will act on messages even in
other folders if you don't prevent them. So the MLM rule may just be moving
them back again.
First of all, your "delete" rule should just say "Delete message" , NOT
"Move message to Deleted Items folder". Then you should have a rule right
near the top of your IMAP rules that says:
Execute <if all criteria are met>
Folder Is not <INBOX (Imap account)>
� Do not apply other rules to messages that meet these criteria
