Hi, Max.

If a message is in both of the folders "Inbox" and "All Mail", it CAN
be directly deleted from "Inbox", which removes it from both folders,
moving it to the "Trash" folder, from which it can be "expunged"
("Trash" is then "emptied").  

If a message is in both of the folders "Inbox" and "All Mail", it CAN
NOT be directly deleted from "All Mail". It stays in both folders, with
only the one in "All Mail" having a line through it, showing that is
marked for deletion, but is not deleted, and is not even moved to
"Trash", which remains empty.  

Moving the message from "Inbox" to another folder in the same email
account, for example "Spam", DOES remove the message from "All Mail". 
That does not make sense to me!  

I am reluctant to test moving a message from one email account to
another one, as I do not do not want to have an another unexpected
problem occur, and I do want to keep the email accounts strictly
isolated from each other.

I do wish that "deleting" a message from any folder would remove it
from all folders.  But, of course, a confirmation dialog before doing
any deletion or expungement would seem to be virtually mandatory!
