From the peanut gallery, my first suspicion would be that you've somehow 
specified the directory to move it to incorrectly.

It would be helpful to post the macro here, or if it is long, at least the 
parts relevant to moving that email to the directory you specified.

To answer your question, yes, a macro could be written (at least in some 
languages -- I don't use Claws mail so not sure about that) that could delete 
the email, although I would suspect it would end up in a trash folder in which 
you could find it.
