creating IMAP Trash folder

[Mark Copper <mcopper@titaninterface.com>]

Hi,

I have a problem losing e-mails, as I posted yesterday.  As near as I
can tell, it shouldn't happen.  But it does.

So, I would like to at least delay expunging the mail on the server.  If
I understand correctly, it should simply have been a matter of setting
IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH to "1" in /etc/courier/imapd, and restarting
the daemons.  That way, when fetchmail connects and collects and
expunges email, a copy should be written to the Trash folder, and that
copy will be expunged 7 days later.

Only trouble is my Maildir didn't have a "Trash" directory.  And
eventhough I made one, it still doesn't get a copy of mail expunged from
~/Maildir/new.

Everything else is an out-of-the-box old stable system.

Thanks for any ideas or pointers.
