The default evolution setup, as I recall, showed deleted messages. I
think evolution always does a move as a copy and delete. So you might
check your "show deleted messages" setting.
There are also various options controlling when evolution really
purges the deleted messages.
None of these remarks have any bearing on why Subject or From don't
work and mailing list filters do, so they may not help.
