I have sbcglobal and gmail. My Mail.app settings are to delete from server right away and it's always worked on my system.
alrighty
Allrighty, seems that one has to leave it a while.
strange that mail.app doesn't send the server update when it GETS mail. So, something is happening AFTER download and AFTER deleting and AFTER another get mail session, and AFTER about three minutes that it is updating the server AGAIN and saying, DELETE this mail.
WOW, really seems like there could be a delete from server AFTER deleting from mailbox only function, maybe mail.app.2.03

I have comcast POP mail, and one day I wanted to see what the 'Rebuild' button did. Well once pushing it it downloaded 1000 email messages that for some reason mail didint delete after retrieving it. Changed the settings for deleting messages off server, but it did the same thing. the only way i can get it to work is to click the remove now button.
Solution?
Anyway, have you finally found the solution to this? I'm experiencing exactly the same problem and I've unsuccesfully tried with the "When moved from Inbox" option as well; it's really disappointing to get to the conclusion that this main application of the MAC OS can´t handle such simple and basic function!
