--- Comment #24 from Hans-Peter Jansen <hpj at urpla.net> ---
WARNING:

This issue boiled down as a PEBCAK for me: I disabled the option

    Compress folder automatically (removes messages flagged as deleted)

on the advanced tab of the IMAP account settings dialog for some (performance
related) reasons and forgot about it. Unfortunately, this leads to the buggy
behaviour described above. 

@ the developers:
Please show a serious version of a warning dialog every time the IMAP account
settings dialog is about to close, if this option is disabled:

"Be aware, that, if you disable this option, you cannot move or delete any
mails successfully anymore, and if you attempt to do so, your mails are COPIED
to trash/other folder AND left in place. While at it, expect more silly
behaviour from akonadi, since it is going to refetch all messages of the
affected source folder immediately. IOW: if you disable this option, you're
going to suffer!"
