My setup is Gnus connecting via nnimap to a dovecot server.
My other client is usually Sylpheed, connecting again via imap directly.

If I move a message to the trash using Sylpheed, for instance, I can
still see the message in the summary buffer when I use Gnus later, but
trying to display it will cause the line to be marked as deleted.
