I've been reading this thread for a few days, and I have a dumb 
question: but do you actually quit Mail.app periodically?

I find that I usually put my Mac to sleep, and that if I log on from 
another machine many of the IMAP messages that I've "deleted" will 
still be visible, as Mail.app does its purging only when you choose to 
synchronise mail folders or exit Mail.app. Is it possible that POP3 
messages are also cleared off the server at shutdown, and that you're 
not performing this?

BTW: whilst you may be frustrated, describing a developer's app as 
"messed up" and posting his email address in public probably isn't the 
best way to endear yourself to him. Whilst he may be lazy & inept, it's 
probably best to assume that he's hard-working & conscientious, and 
would love to hear CONSTRUCTIVE bug reports from users, not just 
unhelpful bitching.
