Do you use IMAP for your gmail account? Notice that IMAP assumes 
tree-like structure of folders and messages. Gmail uses concept of 
labels, so the same message may have multiple labels. When mapped to 
IMAP it means the same message (not a copy) may be accessed from 
different folders. Moreover All Mail is a meta label/folder that 
includes every message (besides trash?). I am unsure if it can be 
reasonably handled using conventional IMAP.

So gmail IMAP accounts may be special to some degree for mail clients. 
Perhaps some kind of cooperation between a mailer and the server is 
necessary. I am unsure at which moment a message should completely 
disappear from the server in response to removing it from particular 
folders (actually labels).
