As far as I understand IMAP folders are -- largely -- case-sensitive, so I need to plan for Trash and trash (and worse), as there is no standard. Further, I cannot really expect all MUAs to honor special-use flags. My intention is to cover the most likely cases with autoexpunge.
I am still wondering if this behaviour is correct, given the case-sensitivity of IMAP.
