I doubt it, though I'll look at it if you send it me. The device is  
not being told to remove the email, so it won't be in the log.

Not really. The email is obviously being removed from your INBOX since  
you no longer see it in IMP (or other MUA).

This happens in one of two ways depending on the features of your IMAP  
server. If you don't support CONDSTORE or per-mailbox MODSEQ values  
(which, if I remember right from looking at your log, is your case) -  
we basically compare the UID list that we have cached in the  
ActiveSync state with what the IMAP server returns as being present in  
the mailbox. Anything not listed in the IMAP server's list of UIDs,  
but present in the ActiveSync list is removed from the device.

It doesn't matter. From the point of view of ActiveSync, the message  
is just vanished from the INBOX (or whatever folder we are talking  
about). Adding it to the Deleted Items/Trash/Whatever folder is a  
separate operation.
