I have a related question : I use Mailmate on the Mac, and Spark on the
iphone : when I send a message using Spark, a copy goes to a Spark
mailbox called Sent, which is different from the « Sent messages »
mailbox of Mailmate. The message is not lost on Mailmate as it appears
in a separate mailbox appropriately called Sent (which is not one of the
obligatory Mailmate mailboxes). How can I reconcile these 2 conflicting
behaviors, knowing that the Maimate mailbox « Sent Messages » does
not exist in Spark?

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?”
Each IMAP account can have 1 mailbox assigned to be used for trash
(deleted messages). This is done using “Mailbox ▸ Mailbox Type”.
The universal mailbox always snamed “Deleted Messages” under
MAILBOXES in the mailbox unifies the messages of all mailboxes
assigned to be used for trash in each account.
If you have multiple mailboxes used as trash in an account then you
need to identify the primary one. This is most often the one used by
webmail access if that exists. If not then you might be free to choose
any mailbox. Then delete any other mailboxes used for trash (maybe
move the emails to the primary one first if you like).
Let me know if that was not clear.
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.
The “Deleted Messages” mailbox actually has an “Empty...” menu
item to make this easier (that'll flush all trash-assigned mailboxes
of all accounts). There's no built-in way to flush it automatically
and I don't think setting up a smart mailbox for it works, because
there's currently no “Delete Permanently” rule action.
(I've been hesitating making any features which involves deleting
anything automatically, because it also opens up the possibility of
bugs with serious consequences, but it might soon be time to at least
add the rule action needed for a smart mailbox.)
Note that some IMAP servers might actually do this for you or have a
configuration to do so.
