This is because when mailx sets the "\Deleted" IMAP flag for a
message, it wouldn't set any other flags, such as "\Seen" for
that message, based on the assumption that that message would
disappear anyway. I have now changed the behavior here to set
all other flags even for deleted messages, so you shouldn't
have to explicitly synchronize changes anymore. Please get the
changed code from CVS to try it out.

Yes, that's the only way to do this. mailx neither supports
generic IMAP drafts nor any Gmail-specific draft handling.
