deleted messages on host1 are deleted from host2 also without using --delete2 flag

Yes, it happen if you don't use --expunge1 but use --expunge2.
The messages marked on host1 are transfered and marked \Deleted on host2,
like they are on host1, and also removed by EXPUNGE as asked by --expunge2

Are you in this context?

In IMAP, a move is a copy followed by a destruction.
The goal "sync deletions of messages but not the last, without duplicates" is not stateless among several syncs.
And how about moving folders or renaming folders? A headache!

A solution to keep all messages and also sync the deletions is to have a catchall folder on host2 that keeps all the messages.
