You actually have two choices, there is the move to trash setting in
Courier, and the move to trash setting in SquirrelMail. Pick one or the
other, not both.

Scenario 1:

Change the setting in imapd (/usr/lib/courier-imap/etc, or wherever)
to zero:

##NAME: IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH:0
#
# Set IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH to move expunged messages to Trash.  This
# effectively allows an undo of message deletion by fishing the deleted
# mail from trash.  Trash can be manually expunged as usually, and mail
# will get automatically expunged from Trash according to IMAP_EMPTYTRASH.
#
# NOTE: shared folders are still expunged as usual.  Shared folders are
# not affected.
#

IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH=0

Then Courier will stop moving deleted messages to trash. So you'll want to
run conf.pl:
  3. Folder Defaults
      6.  By default, move to trash  --> set to true.


Scenario 2:

Change the setting in imapd (/usr/lib/courier-imap/etc, or wherever) to one:

IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH=1

Then Courier will now move deleted messages to trash, so visit conf.pl:
  3. Folder Defaults
      6.  By default, move to trash  --> set to false.


Either scenario is valid, the determining factor is what IMAP clients are
used to interact with Courier-IMAP. If you're only using squirrelmail,
then which one you use is a toss-up (probably easier to change
SquirrelMail..).

If, on the other hand, you have people using other clients (Eudora, Pine,
other web mail clients, etc. ) to access their mail, then it may be safer
(for consistency) to have Courier take care of moving mail to Trash
(Scenario 2).

I used Scenario 1, to great effect. But really, as long as the two
settings are either/or (and not both), duplicate copies will vanish. ;)
