Description
Perhaps have a message: could not delete item on server, deleting only locally.
Useful in at least two situations.
Number one: the message does not exist on the server (anymore), so attempts to delete it there fail.
Number two: there is no internet connection, so the server cannot be reached in the first place.
I think the user wouldn't mind knowing about this when it happens. Currently it isn't clear to the user that anything went wrong.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the message deletion flow and the handling for server deletion failures, then check how offline and already-removed messages are treated. Done means the user is informed when deletion succeeds locally but cannot be completed on the server.
