OT - IMAP mail server with trash folder?

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

I also use a Windows program called PopPeeper, and it just deletes 
messages when I tell it to. On my Insight accounts, the messages wind up 
in a trash folder, whereas on my Linux system, deleted messages wind up 
in the great bit bucket, never to be seen again. I've Googled a bit, and 
there seems to be a rather old plugin to move deleted messages to a 
Trash folder, but I have no idea if it still works with modern Dovecot. 
Anyone know of any other ways to do this, or any other Imap/POP3 servers 
that support a trash folder out of the box?
Thanks.
