I have my every-day-all-day e-mail client, evolution, set to display
deleted messages (it shows them with a strike-through) and not expunge
until I tell it to with a key-combination, so I expunge many times a
day already.

Does this mean 0?

Or is the "Deteled: 0" there something different than \Deleted?

In any case:

# /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/mbexamine user.brian | grep \\\\Deleted

reports nothing.

Cheers,
