Hi Hope I'm not too late :-) I'm using courier-imapd and have few users with whole bunch of various client software on FreeBSD and Windows. Following lines in imapd config do magic: IMAP_TRASHFOLDERNAME="Deleted Items" MAP_EMPTYTRASH="Deleted Items":90,"Sent Items":365 IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH=1 This makes MS Outlook Express happy. For mutt client I just make symbolic link "trash" -> "Deleted Items". Moreover, in case of mutt it's actually server that moves messages to trash, and does this without any hooks or filters. By the way, MSOE actually allows to specify names of both 'sent items' and 'deleted items' folders, but to avoid explaining Windows users how to do this I just fix this on the server. Just make sure you correctly specify namespace, otherwise your folders will show up in the client either with dot in the front or/and as sub-folders of your inbox (well, they're in fact, but I don't like that look). This actually might be reason why your client stores Trash locally - it doesn't look for it in proper place on the server because namespace specified incorrectly. Hope this helps.
