Because delete and then expunge is the IMAP model, and implementing a
trash mailbox on top of it (with a literal trash mailbox) is a gross hack.
There are ways to implement this in an IMAP-friendly manner that don't
result in this behavior, but they are still pretty gross hacks.

Don't use trash mailboxes. Or don't use quotas. Take your pick.
