Re: [Evolution] IMAP Trash folder?

[NotZed <notzed ximian com>]

Food for thought, some minor discussion about IMAP.

http://perso.club-internet.fr/ffaure/imap.html

"Windows IMAP clients
...

NETSCAPE
...

 To delete e-mails in your remote mailboxes, select them and hit DEL, 
 followed by File | Compress this folder.
...

EUDORA
...

 Deleting e-mails in your remote mailboxes requires two steps: Select
 the e-mails and press DEL to mark them as Deleted, followed by Message
 | Purge Messages. This is actually a requirement of the IMAP
 protocol. If you want files to be deleted/moved in one go, Tools |
 Options | Incoming Mail | When I Delete a Message = Move it to
 Trash. Messages will be moved accordingly, but a copy is saved in your
 local Trash mailbox. To tell Eudora to empty it automatically when
 exiting, Tools | Options | Miscellaneous | Empty Trash when exiting"
