[imp] Deleted messages not moved to trash from client

[LALOT Dominique]

I'm not sure to understand your question, but Thunderbird clients leaves the
original mail  in flag Deleted state and copy it to a trash folder. And
under dimp, even if you use move to trash, you get those deleted mail in the
mail list and no way to get rid of them.
And the prefs delhide has a strange behaviour

So I wrote a patch which is working for me. I have to admit that I didn't
understand the full logic of hideDeletedMsgs() . But from my point of view,
hide deleted should work all the time..

why should'nt we hide deleted when  in move to trash?
