At the IMAP level, this is only possible with a modern enough IMAP
server.  You need the IMAP server to support UIDPLUS (see RFC 4315).

>From the client's point of view, deleting a message outright is a matter
of first flagging it \Deleted and then issuing a UID EXPUNGE command for
the same message.
