<title>Moved emails are still shown in the original folder</title>
<p>If your IMAP mail server does not yet support <link href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6851">IMAP's "move" feature</link> which was introduced in January 2013, <app>Evolution</app> "moves" messages by copying and deleting emails. Deleting means "marking messages for deletion" so all the original messages are retained until you expunge the emails marked for deletion.</p>
<p>See the topic on <link xref="mail-delete-and-undelete">deleting emails</link> for instructions on how to expunge email messages. Note that this applies to other types of accounts as well.</p>
