For IMAP deleting is two steps - most clients do it in one what is actually wrong and adds unneeded traffic as you send a sync-mailbox every time you delete.
Step one: delete - Step two: update (sync-mailbox your client sends all changes to the server and receives all changes made by another client in the meantime). I actually love this behaviour in mutt (text-based client) where nothing happens to my actual mail until I press sync-mailbox.
A settings entry would be suitable to have people used to clients that do auto-sync-mailbox have the option to activate such a... feature (it is actually implementing a bug as a choosable feature but ok)
EDIT: I just checked with two servers one is a communigate one is either dovecot or the other (not my domain) - on both servers the email is deleted instantly and pushed update of inbox to all other clients connected - that is actually the best auto-sync-mailbox implementation I had so far... so WFM
How/where are you marking them as deleted ? Are those changes exported to the remote server ?

VDVsx ( 2014-05-02 10:09:41 +0200 )editI have this problem as well. As I see it, the problem is that the Jolla e-mail client doesn't care about the Deleted flag on messages.
In addition, the read status of e-mails in the "new e-mails list" doesn't seem to get updated when read on another client (possibly same as this problem). I saved a message server log after updating an IMAP account where I observe these two problems and sent it to mail-logs at jolla dot com.
