 Hi,
 
 I see this plugin exists for v1  v2, all very interesting... Surprised no 
 one seems to have created an RPM and it looks like deleted_to_trash is one of 
 the very few plugins to not be shipped as part of the default install with 
 CentOS 5.5 or CentOS 6 (i.e. Dovecot v1  v2 respectively.)
 
 Am I missing something, or does everyone really build from source?

I was not aware of this plugin.

Looking at the plugin configuration options how would one handle all the 
various folder names that users use for Trash?

Hi Brad,

Well, it could be a configurable folder name, or not, but it doesn't matter 
_too_ much . . Looking at various IMAP clients, they already use a variety of 
folder names, so if I access my IMAP account using my MacBook and my Android 
and an installation of MS-Outlook, then I might end up with a Deleted folder 
*and* a Trash folder. It doesn't much matter, I can undelete within an 
application where I've accidentally hit delete and if I'm looking further 
back for something deleted last week, I can search both folders if I can't 
remember where it was deleted.

It all works out adequately in the end -- from an end user's point of view -- 
even if it's not very pretty from a software design point of view.
