I added the following documentation about how to modify the purging of 
messages from the trash to README.Debian.

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/courier/-/blob/master/debian/courier-imap.README.Debian?ref_type=heads#L8-11

I am not closing this bug yet, as I am still determining if I should change 
the default behavior in Debian (or if there ends up being consensus upstream 
that it should be changed).  But adding documentation about it seemed like an 
obvious step forward.

Personally, before I became the Courier maintainer, I ran into this problem 
myself.  I assumed it was one of the clients I used that was deleting the 
emails.  It took me quite a while before I looked at the Courier IMAP 
settings, because it didn’t occur to me that the server would be deleting any 
emails by default.
