I don't really understand what the problem is, but it might have something to 
do with the fact that in dIMAP you have to wait untill the next "sync" to get 
your changes done on your client "moved" to the IMAP server

If your messages are labeled, that means you've got filters. Just check 
the "skip the inbox" option whenever you create the filter.

Don't get this either. If a message it's gone frome your inbox that means that 
is has been labeled or deleted so... you still have it at the correct folder 
or the trash.
