In the case of Evolution "delete" really means "mark for" or "mark as" deleted. Expunge means to *really delete* the message off the system. FYI, Evolution uses virtual folders, of which the trash bin is one.

When you "delete" a message in Evolution it's actually "marked for deletion". The process is only *truly* complete when you expunge it (delete it by _emptying_ your trash bin). I hope I've made a sufficiently clear explanation.
