Isn't that actually the purpose of dimap (*isconnected IMAP)? I.e. you operate 
in a disconnected mode, delete mails, move them around, etc. and only when 
you explicitly "synchronize", e.g. by pressing F5, then your changes will be 
committed to the server (and changes on the server will be propagated to 
your).

Yes, that's a feature, AFAICS.
