If you are using GMail the process is a bit different:

1. Move it to the [Gmail]/Trash folder.
2. Delete it from the [Gmail]/Trash folder (Add \Delete flag)

All emails in [Gmail]/Spam and [Gmail]/Trash are deleted after 30 days. If you delete a message from [Gmail]/Spam or [Gmail]/Trash, it will be deleted permanently.

Remember also to call EXPUNGE after setting the tag Deleted.
