Imaplib & Gmail - cannot move from inbox to custom folder (message remains in both)

[rob at attoenterprises.com]

I am using Imaplib and connecting to a Gmail account.  I am issuing commands to copy the email to a custom folder then issuing delete.  After expunge message still remains in inbox and customer folder.

        # COPY EMAIL TO FOLDER
        copyStatus = m.copy(emailid, 'CIRIMPORTED')
        print 'id of message copied is: %s status: %s' % (emailid,copyStatus)
 
        # SET THE MESSAGE TO HAVE '\Deleted' FLAG (EXPUNGE WILL COMPLETE DELETE PROCESS)
        storeStatus = m.store(emailid,"+FLAGS", r'(\Deleted)')
        print 'id of message stored is: %s status: %s %s' % (emailid,storeStatus[0],storeStatus[1])
        #print '******'
    
    #DELETES ANY EMAIL MARKED \Deleted    
    m.expunge()
    m.close()
    m.logout()

Does anyone have any imaplib code the works with Gmail to move from inbox to another folder?
