We have been using Thunderbird exclusively since before it reached version 1.0,
and it has never, to the best of my recollection, used anything but 'Trash' for
the trash can.

Thank-you for your message.
I suspect it may be that Thunderbird substitutes a localised translation
on-the-fly for display purposes.
I am using the British localised version of Thunderbird.
So the IMAP folder is called "Trash" but Thunderbird shows the
translation "Deleted" for me.
Fair enough: Thunderbird is doing a trash can model on folders.
No idea what you mean by that...
It means that Thunderbird does not delete folders when requested to but
instead moves them to a "trash can". The folders are actually deleted
with the "trash can" is emptied. I call this the "trash can model".
Another model would be the "do it straightaway model", in which when I
ask the program to delete a folder, it deletes it straight away.

Bill
