What does it do instead of being deleted? Does it mark the messages in 
any way? When are you expecting the message to actually be deleted? 
Immediately upon being marked or only when you synchronize your folder 
(or mutt exits)?

You need to provide more information. A good formula is:

     1. What did you do?
     2. What did you expect the computer to do?
     3. What did the computer do instead?
     4. What have you tried to solve the problem yourself?

On the surface of it, your email is open to a sarcastic answer along 
the lines of "that would be the difference between *marking* a message 
for deletion and actually deleting it. Just marking a message for 
deletion does not immediately delete it. That's the expected 
behavior."
