Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
This Steps get from Bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185184+#c113:

get POP3 protocol log, then open new bug and write down
"X-UIDL" header contents in the bug, and attach protocol log & back-ups of
popstate.dat to the bug.

Test scenario will probably be as follows.
(1) Create a filter which move test mail to Trash.
    Eg. If subject is "test test test" Then move to Trash"
(2) Send a mail of subject="test test test" to yourself.
(3) Terminate Thunderbird
(4) Keep backup of popstate.dat in <server_name> directry
    under your Mail directry (UIDL and the mail status is held in this file).
(5) Enable POP3 protocol log and start Thunderbird
(6) Get mail(automatically on startup or manually)
    => The test mail will be moved to Trash
(7) Check UIDL of the mail
    - See "X-UIDL" header using View/Message Source
(8) Exit Thunderbird
    => The mail will be purged from Trash on exit
(9) Keep backup of protocol log file.
(10) Keep backup of popstate.dat again
(11) Enable POP3 protocol log and start Thunderbird again
(12) Connect to server again
(13) Exit Thunderbird
(14) Keep backup of protocol log file.
(15) Keep backup of popstate.dat again

See http://www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/mail-troubleshoot.html#pop for
protocol log.
Do not forget to change "protocol:5" to "POP3:5" when POP3.
Please note that log file is overlayed on restart.

What is your setting and sub-settings of "Leave messages on server"?

If "Leave messages on server" is checked, deletion from server will be done
according to sub-settings of it.
But if "Leave messages on server" is not checked, deletion from server is done
when additonal download is completed (I don't know what will/shoud happen when
moving to Trash or Emtpty Trash/Shift+Delete.)

i have the option "Leave messages on server" checked on for a test, but the
behavior stay

i use now a workaround for filter rule, i checked not moved in trash - i checked
now "delete from pop3-server", only i can't see the filtered mails, because the
mails shortly delete

Will "Delete the message"(without "Delete from POP3 server") instead of "Move to
Trash folder" also be a workaround?
