This is spin-off of Bug 433806 Comment #37, (Phenomenon-C).

If local mail is deleted after copy/move to IMAP folder of offline-use=off while offline mode, copied/moved mail in IMAP folder is lost upon Work Online.
Delete at local mail folder should be prohibited, or offline-store file should be used for copy/move while offline-mode even if offline-use=off.

Re: bug 1550929 Comment 3. I can confirm this bug. However, as noted above, user should not delete messages from source folder until they are sure it is OK in destination. Also, STR must be pretty unusual or this bug would be reported more often.
