OT - IMAP mail server with trash folder?

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

Sorry for this whole off-topic thread. I didn't really want to switch 
from Sendmail, so I just installed the Courier auth daemon and the 
Courier IMAP server. Everything's working, but it isn't sending mail to 
trash when I delete it, either with PopPeeper or with Thunderbird set as 
an IMAP client. There's a trash folder there, but nothing's there. I've 
set all the settings to enable the feature where expunged mail goes to 
the trash folder.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Jayson
