Description:
Back in 2024 GMail IMAP service started disconnecting the IMAP connection in the event that user moved an email to trash. The issue was reported to Google, but as there was no server-side fix we went on to work around it from the client (using copying to trash, and then deleting from folder) specifically for GMail - see #172 for details.

Now it appears the issue has been fixed server-side, so we should update the default config to disable the workaround, as it is cleaner and safer (and likely faster) to perform a move operation.
