In the standard UNIX mailbox format, the source mailbox flags aren't updated
until the next checkpoint: mail_check(), mail_expunge(), or mail_close().

The messages get the deleted flag for the next expunge.

What is "the file" -- the source or the destination?  Please be more specific
about what, precisely, you are doing.

Also, please make sure that you have the latest version.  The current release
version is imap-4.6, but I recommend that you use the imap-4.7.BETA version
instead:
