Help K9 Mail Issue--deleted Emails won't delete

This all started after a recent borking of a ROM update attempt, but I don't know if it's related to that. (See this thread for info on that: http://androidforums.com/one-m8-all...hing-really-borked-tough-time-recovering.html)

After re-installing my apps, which included K9 Mail, I've been having one major issue with K9--Emails I delete from my Inbox reappear in total the next time new Email arrives. In the settings, I select to NOT delete from server so as to not lose the Emails when I log in to my paid Hotmail account on a PC. I do select delete from K9 Inbox when I delete an Email from the server (my PC). Neither of those settings should be causing this problem, however.

I had the same settings before the aforementioned ROM upgrade debacle of yesterday and before yesterday's re-installation of K9, so I know it's not an issue of me changing something. I set it up the exact, same way, but no matter what I do--I have tweaked a few things to try and troubleshoot this--the Emails all reappear after I delete them and after any new ones come in.

It's to the point where I'll have to consider a different Email app if this can't be rectified. (And no, Mail Droid is not an option. I tried that once and hated it due to its complexity and its confusing operation.)
 
I think the trusty troubleshooting flowchart will help with this:

Basically clear k9's data. if that doesn't work, uninstall k9 and re-install it. After that, factory reset the phone.
Good luck

The developer has been totally useless. He tells me to post in the K9 forums, which I've done more than once, but I have received NO responses or help at all.

Again, my issue is this--when I delete an Email in the K9 app, whether individually or mass delete, they'll disappear like they're supposed to, but when new Emails arrive, all my previously deleted Emails reappear, leading to a very crowded in-box. It doesn't matter whether the deleted Emails had been read or not, they still all resurrect themselves when new Emails arrive.

I've tried other methods, like expunge, etc., but nothing has worked. This problem started about 3-4 weeks ago. Prior to that, the app was perfect.
