Deleting a message means that it's marked as deleted and doesn't show
anymore (unless you choose Folder - Browse deleted messages) even
when a message shows in trash, it's still present in the original
folder. Same thing goes for messages that are moved to another folder,
they're still present in the original folder, just marked as read.
It stays like this until you compress the folder. That's a reason why
we advise to compress all folders on exit (or at least regularly)
Deleted attachments are handled the same way, they're merely marked as
deleted, but they won't show when you browse deleted messages. They'll
be removed when you compress the folder.
