I am using Mutt with my Maildir mail setup. I want it so that when I delete a message it goes into my Deleted Items folder instead of just getting deleted. I have done some research and found the following macros:

macro index d "s=Trash\n" "move message to trash"
macro pager d "s=Trash\n" "move message to trash"


But, I have not been able to figure out how to put Deleted Items in there instead. If I do this:

#macro index d "s='.Deleted Items\n" "move message to trash"
#macro pager d "s='.Deleted Items\n" "move message to trash"


It was to create a new folder called DeletedItems (no space).  Any ideas?

I don't know which version of mutt you are using, but the newer debian
packages (those in lenny and sid) include a trash patch, which
allows you to forget those macros and instead use this in your muttrc:

set trash="=.Deleted Items"

I tested it and it creates the folder with a space
Thank you. That did work. I am running testing. I am just not that comfortable with Mutt, I really prefer Pine and/or Alpine. Alpine does not currently read maildir mail folders though. I have to see if I can figure that one out.

Do you know if there is a way to move to trash (Deleted Items) in Alpine?

Thanks,
Jeff
