I don't think people would think `vTrash' is anymore a typo than
`vFolders'. And the `v' leans toward a commonly accepted convention.
At least it "feels" that way to me.
Also, if you stick `Trash' down in `vFolders' I would have assumed THAT
`Trash' folder had something to do with stuff deleted out of `vFolders'
and that REALLY gets confusing.
BTW, I haven't tried it, but what is suppose to happen if someone drags
and drops an email from a folder to `Trash'? Does that do the right
thing? You'll have people do that, you know. Maybe this was discussed
already and I missed it.
