As I wrote in my reply to your other bug report messages which are 
marked for deletion are physically removed if you compact the folder. 
If you want to keep the disk space used by the folders low you should 
enable "Compact all folders on exit".

KMail does not save any messages in a temporary folder. It only saves 
attachments in the temporary folders because otherwise the attachments 
can't be processed by other programs. KMail should delete these 
temporary files on exit.
