Gary,
Hi Matt,I understand now. Thanks. So do you know of a mail client that supports "Deleting Items" to a folder called "Trash" on the IMAP server? Right now I have evolution and if I delete mail it puts it into a local trash folder, but I dont see an option to "Copy deleted mail to folder <blah> on mail server" or something like that.

There is no trash folder in the IMAP protocol itself.. Removing mail is a two step process, first of deleting it, and second of purging the deleted mail.
I use mutt with an imap server. I've tied macros to specific keys that save messages to INBOX.trash, which effectively deletes them from the current folder. I go to the .trash folder and use 'D' to clean it out on a regular basis, sometimes finding one or two that I didn't want to delete. It requires folder hooks to change the underlying behavior for the 'd', '^d' and 'D' keys based on the current folder, but it works like a charm.
The mutt site documents how to do most of this, but if you like, I can dig up my macros for you.

I think I got it covered. My new solution seems to work. Thanks though!
