I think the one message behind is by design.

But the DELE command doesn't delete the message, it only flags it for
deletion. The deletion will be executed on the server when the QUIT
command is received. TB only sends commands to the server, it cannot
change the server's standard behaviour.

What is the purpose of having the mails deleted before quiting? Just
curious.
