2. They seem to be removed
3. Open underlying inbox
4. The still are there
5. Restart Kmail
6. The now are there again even in "Unified Mailboxes".

OBSERVED RESULT

See above.

Still the same with 5.23.0.

Comment 2 kramski 2025-06-02 17:21:29 UTC

The situation has improved on Version 6.4.1 (25.04.1): Deleting (moving to trash) now is permanent and is reflected in the underlying inboxes. Moving mails (e.g. into an archive folder) still does not work (tested by dragging with the mouse).
