It depends on how your IMAP server presents the information to Evo.  The
way you are describing is, I think, the way Cyrus does it.  Certainly my
IMAP server (Dovecot) does it how you want.

The Junk & Trash are virtual folders - Trash is a list of all the mails
marked for deletion - Junk are all those marked as spam.

Note that with IMAP there's no such thing as 'delete' - you mark the
messages for deletion, and then expunge them.
