Courier-imap NEVER deletes mail in my experience. That is the whole
point of IMAP. Mail is only deleted by the email client. ;)
So claws-mail is automatically deleting old messages in the Trash
folder? I don't see a config option anywhere.
You didn't state _in the trash_ folder in your previous message.
(I guessed, tho'! :P Looks like the other respondents didn't!)

##NAME: IMAP_EMPTYTRASH:0
