"Remove" means: Deleting. Internally it is refiling the messages to
ELMO's equivalent of /dev/null (elmo-null-folder).

The original message will be deleted, so for nntp it is putting the
message in the killfile:
,----
| (luna-define-method elmo-folder-delete-messages ((folder elmo-nntp-folder)
| numbers)
| (elmo-folder-kill-messages folder numbers)
| t)

Same here: They are deleted, that is expunged. In IMAP there is no
distinction between "delete" and "expunge": You might refer to the
/process/ of deleting messages that invokes flagging them with a
special flag \Deleted. Messages that are flagged this way are always
expunged:
- directly on the EXPUNGE command
- indirectly by a CLOSE command on a mailbox opened read/write
WL flags messages \Deleted and then calls EXPUNGE.
