Details

Reporducible: always.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create an Imap account.
2) Set delete model to "mark as deleted"
3) Turn on "biff" for the account.
4) Restart Mozilla
5) While viewing INBOX, change model to "remove immediatelly".
6) Delete a message.

Actual results:
Message disappears from UI (and is marked deleted on server), but comes back at
next biff. restarting Mozilla clears the problem.

I am not sure whether it's the state of a cached Imap connection or some UI
state that needs to be properly reset when changing modes. Also, I don't quite
remember what happens if you change the mode in other direction, but it didn't
work correctly either (but again, restarting Mozilla helped).

P.S. This is a spin-off of bug #83816
