In my version of MailMate, “Trash” is not an option. There are 5
mailbox types, one of which is “Deleted Messages.”
Similarly, I have a mailbox called “Deleted Messages” right below
Junk. I do not have a mailbox called “Trash”.
I’m using an Exchange Server. Am I supposed to change everything
to “Trash?”
While on the subject of Trash, how do I configure Deleted Messages to
automatically flush messages after, say, 10 days? Right now I have to do
a manual select+flush when I remember. I have experimented with my
folder, but not found a solution.
Thanks.

What is the "right" way to configure MailMate (and, by association,
Mail.app on OS X and iOS) so that deleting a message puts it into the

that folder as the rubbish bin and treat it as such?
Some of my configs seem to be using a Deleted Messages folder, others
are using Trash; I'm hoping to go with what should be the "default"
but I'm sensing that there's a fundamental difference between these
systems...
With FastMail you should go with `Trash`. Some IMAP servers actually
tell the email client which one to use by default. This is true for
FastMail:
S: * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "/" Trash
(The `\Trash` value is a flag which MailMate and other email clients
can and should use. It's described in [this
RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6154).)
So, in MailMate you should select the Trash folder and make sure its
“Mailbox Type” is Trash. I'm quite sure you can do the same on iOS
although I cannot remember exactly how :) You'll have to google it.
After that you should move all messages in “Deleted Messages” to
Trash and then delete the “Deleted Messages” mailbox.
I hope this helps.
