Yes. This is a problem.

You could try this, yes.

The conventional IMAP method is to strike them through with a red line,
though they remain visible. However, deleting them from visibility could
also be done.

I like when they remain visible, though marked as deleted. In this way,
if they aren't really deleted from the server, you'll immediately see
this. If they're removed from view, you could have lingering messages on
the server and not realize it. I see this all the time, though TB!, at
some point, seems to get around to deleting the messages.
