Hi Hope I'm not too late :-) I'm using courier-imapd and have few users with whole bunch of various client software on FreeBSD and Windows. Following lines in imapd config do magic: IMAP_TRASHFOLDERNAME=Deleted Items MAP_EMPTYTRASH=Deleted Items:90,Sent Items:365 IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH=1 This makes MS Outlook Express happy. For mutt client I just make symbolic link trash - Deleted Items. Moreover, in case of mutt it's actually server that moves messages to trash, and does this without any hooks or filters. By the way, MSOE actually allows to specify names of both 'sent items' and 'deleted items' folders, but to avoid explaining Windows users how to do this I just fix this on the server. Just make sure you correctly specify namespace, otherwise your folders will show up in the client either with dot in the front or/and as sub-folders of your inbox (well, they're in fact, but I don't like that look). This actually might be reason why your client stores Trash locally - it doesn't look for it in proper place on the server because namespace specified incorrectly. Hope this helps.

Thanks though! -Matt Maybe I can offer another way to do it. I use courier-imap as imap server. It offers a configuration variable called IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH. As the name implies, mails that are deleted from non-trash folders (deleting = deleting + expunging) are moved to the trash folder. In combination with IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7, which removes mails from the trash folder after 7 days, this solution is comfortable, as long as the mail client has support for deleting/expunging in one step (I use sylpheed with X, which does this well, and mutt does it well enough too. I have not used evolution). Basically I don't use the classical IMAP way of deleting mails (just marking them with the deleted flag) at all. - Benjamin pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: True IMAP Trash Folder
Mozilla mail client does this. It uses a Trash folder on the IMAP server. However, there is no setting that I found which specifies where the Trash folder should be or what it is called. It simply just works as expected. I am using courier-imap for my imap and that is what I get here.

Re: True IMAP Trash Folder
Oscar - well, as far as client, yes, you would need to sync them. But, if you filter on the server, it can be accomplished on without any client configuration. Take a look at Mail::Audit. I use it with imap-uw, and it works quite well. I just filter mail into a couple seperate mboxs in my home dir, and off I go. ~j Oscar Ricardo Silva wrote: Which leads me to ask/comment/point out, a bit off topic perhaps ... if you do take the filter path, and are checking mail on different machines, perhaps with different applications and operating systems ... how do you sychronize your filters? I believe there's not a centralized universal way of filtering messages. Do you have create them on each app you use?
