Gah!!  Now it's doing something different!

When I delete an email that's sitting in one of my folders, where
is it supposed to go?
"haggis imap"/INBOX/Trash
  or
"haggis imap"/Trash ??

And what's the difference between 
Actions|Expunge
   and
Actions|"Empty Trash" ?

Maybe if I know that, I'll be able to explain things better.
