[Evolution] imap: evolution and eudora; moving files to trash folder



Hi, I looked for this information on-line, but did not find anything. 
Sorry if it is a faq.  

I just set-up IMAP so that I can use evolution at work and eudora on my
laptop (or any other mail client for that matter).  

1. if I delete a message in evolution, it just gets a line through it
and it stays in my INBOX ... it is well known that this is how evolution
handles deleted messages.  I can use "View" "Hide Deleted Messages" so
that I don't see the deleted messages.  However, when I fire up eudora,
I will see the deleted message.  In eudora the 'server status' flag
indicates that the message is flagged for deletion.  This will leave me
with an exceptionally cluttered view of my INBOX in eudora.  This seems
like a good reason for having a deleted e-mail in evolution get moved to
a different imap (trash) folder.  Does this exist?  From what I read,
there was a conscious decision in evolution not to move deleted messages
to other folders.  

2. From eudora I can move deleted messages to my imap trash folder. 
However, a different problem arises.  For e-mail that I deleted in
evolution (i.e., still exists in my evolution INBOX, but with a line
through it *and* still exists in my Eudora view of INBOX with a 'server
status' of delete), if I delete any eudora other eudora INBOX messages,
the evolution deleted (flagged for deletion) e-mail disappears forever. 
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.  I could live with evolution
not moving deleted e-mail if, when I use eudora, *all* messages flagged
for deletion would get moved to the trash folder.  

Sorry if this is confusing.  The long and short of this is that it seems
like it would be nice if there was a way (perhaps a trick with vfolders
or filters?) to move email that is deleted from an evolution imap folder
into an imap trash folder.  

thanks, 
mark
