I have a GMail account as well as my locally served, general IMAP one. I 
have 30 or so filters, the last of which is a catch-all to move (not copy) 
everything from the server to my desktop machine.

That filter does indeed move everything from the locally served account, 
which is served by Dovecot, but it only copies everything from the GMail 
account, so I then have to log on to GMail and delete everything there by 
hand.

Perhaps I've missed something in the GMail setup.
