When you use IMAP the Inbox is effectively a label. The mail is actually in the all mail folder. Which is why deleting from the inbox in your client doesn't delete it from the all mail folder. It just removes the inbox label. That's the way it's designed to behave using IMAP.

You have to drag from the inbox to the bin in your client to mark it for deletion (in 30 days unless you purge the bin before that).
