Your goal is typical, but your implementation is "inadequate".
Thus, it doesn't work. And you blame someone else. Very discouraging.

IMAP is designed for what you what you want to do. Run an imapd on
your box (courier-imap is popular and easy) and tell you MUA to use
the IMAP protocol instead of mbox.

I've never used anything but mutt. Surely someone doesn't have to run
imapd just so that their mail gets deleted when they tell a MUA to
delete a mail. I'd call that a bug.

Apparently he's not telling Icedove to "Empty Trash on Exit".
