How can my Mu4e inbox display be consistent with my other email clients?

Hi there, This is a screen shot from part of my FastMail IMAP email inbox in Mu4e. [Lots of inbox email headers, each crossed out, but still listed in the inbox.](https://preview.redd.it/82g1a3074pi81.png?width=2063&format=png&auto=webp&s=4ce07d382177118cbc3057878f8b87918e4fef7b) All of these emails have been archived or moved via the MacOS Mail program, or iOS Mail app but they show up like this here, which means that they have been trashed from Mu4e's perspective. I'm trying to work out how to make my Mu4e display consistent with what iPhone or Mac Mail shows me. I.E. If I archive an email in iOS Mail, the reference to it is no longer displayed in Mu4e so that I don't have to do everything twice. I have followed [this setup](https://macowners.club/posts/email-emacs-mu4e-macos/) pretty much exactly but applied to FastMail. Can somebody point in the right direction please? ​ (Edited to make my request clearer, and to try replacing the image that seemed to be stuck "processing...".)

I'm not sure if there's a better way, but my `mu4e-bookmarks` includes this for each entry: AND NOT flag:trashed AND NOT maildir:\"/Trash\"

Yay that is great! I only needed the `AND NOT flag:trashed` part it seems. There are a few emails left over that are crossed out. The only thing that I can see that is consistent between them at the moment is that they all share the the `ST` flags, while often still having other flags too. They aren't a problem though and over time I might figure out what is different about them. Great! This makes Mu4e much more usable for me. Thank you.
