Jan, 

After talking to chuck on the same subject but slightly different issue 
he said something that just clicked.  

If use_trash is set, we call imap_expunge when move files to the trash 
anyway, so and files still marked for deletion are expunged anyway.

That being the case, what's the point of haveing hide and purge deleted 
if use_trash is set?
