<sigh>I realise that, I understand that, and I am NOT saying that you
should use a local Trash folder. I am saying you shouldn't use a Trash
folder at all.  Just mark deleted messages as such and DON'T MOVE THEM
ANYWHERE.

The Evolution Trash folder in this instance is a virtual one that just
contains a list of messages that have been deleted in all the other
folders, the folder doesn't actually exist, nor are the messages moved
anywhere.  How other IMAP clients deal with messages marked for deletion
is up to them - most either hide the messages or show them with a line
through - both of which Evolution can do.

This is nothing to do with the IMAP server - none of these things are
configuration or features of the IMAP server.

You should let the list know what the bug ID/URL is so that if anyone
else comes across the issue in the archives they know where to go to
find out more about it.
