@TapuGithub, thanks for opening this issue.
The problem is that IMPORT_MAIL_DELETE is part version 2.0 (which is still in development). By mistake it was added to documentation. I will update documentation with this note (that is IMPORT_MAIL_DELETE available only for version 2.0).

Thanks for the fast repose. I will be waiting for 2.0 to use it.

My pull request for papermerge-core might fix this issue. For this pull request, mails are not permanently deleted, but marked as read/seen and moved to the trash folder.

This simulates an email deletion and should work more reliably across various mail providers.

Mail deletion using python's IMAPClient needs to use delete_messages() and a final call to expunge() to take effect, which is currently missing in papermerge-core's imap.py.

I think release 2.0.0.rc48 should fix this issue.
