No, the 'X' icon means the messages have been marked as they are to be
deleted. The main toolbar also has 'Execute' button.

'Execute' means it executes postponed operations (such as move, copy,
delete). This was the common interface for Emacs-based mailers.

Gray color just means it was marked as delete (move to trash), and it
is persistent. I know they're not consistent.
