Yes the message was indeed marked with a strike out font, but it was
never sent to the trash folder.  I did already remove my .evolution
folder and restarted evolution again, and now the emails at least get
moved to the trash folder when deleted.  The only thing I see now, is
when I close/exit evolution it doesn't automatically empty the trash
folder, and it is set in my preferences to do it every time.
