mail not removed from imap inbox until exit or offline

I connect to two imap mail servers, one is ms exchange 5.5 and the other is
uwash imap2000. I notice that when I get a message in my inbox, and either
delete it or move it to another folder, although mozilla shows it to be gone
from the inbox, it really isn't on the server.
I know this because I run applets that check my mail on both imap servers, and
they always report the cumulative number of messages that have come into my
inbox since I started mozilla. Only after I exit mozilla, or work offline the
applets show the true number of messages (usually 0 because I deleted/moved all
messages from my inbox. I also logged into the linux server and ran pine to
verify that even thought I deleted all the messages in my inbox in mozilla, they
are still there in the inbox on the server, until I exit/work offline mozilla.
The situation seems to be the same on win98,w2k & Linux.
note... when I move messages INTO the inbox, from IMAP subfolders, they appear
immediately, it's just removing/deleting that does not show until exit/offline.

What is your delete mode set to?
Account Settings > Server Settings > "When I delete a message"
my delete mode is set to "move it to the trash folder"
So for me deleting a message is the same as moving it to another folder... why
does the message not really move folders on the server until you exit/work offline?
