Comment 29 for bug 13983

It is possible that I have misunderstood how Evu works, but one thing is for certain, you misunderstood the main point and I will tell this from a more practical point of view, something reproductive. If anyone wants to try it out, I will gladly open an email account just for the research, if we kan find some way of getting in direct contact with each other, like cfriisha at jabber dot org.

Main point: After deleting mail in a sub folder, this mail appears in the Evu. Trash folder and not in the server side Trash folder.

Behavior: Of all the mail clients I have used, only Evu. does deletion tis way.

Reproduction scenario:
IMAP server = courier on Ubuntu 9.04
IMAP client = Evolution 2.28.1 on Ubuntu 9.10
IMAP account = INBOX, INBOX.Drafts, INBOX.Sent, INBOX.Trash, INBOX.friends

There are a lot more folders on the actual account, but the first four are the standard ones and then I included one of my extra folders.

The steps:
I receive a mail in my INBOX from <email address hidden> which I read, close and drag to the INBOX.friends folder.
Later I highlight the email from <email address hidden> in the INBOX.friends and hit the Del key.

The actual result:
<email address hidden> does not appear in INBOX.Trash but rather in Trash.

My problem with this is that the folder Trash is not anywhere to find on the server, which suggests to me that Trash is a local folder. If I want to undelete <email address hidden> I will have to do it from that particular Evu. client.

The expected result: (As with any other client I have ever tried)
<email address hidden> appear in INBOX.Trash.

and I can later recover that email from any client, anywhere, at any time.

Why the difference:
From what I see Sebastien and Paul write, it appears that Evu. really does mark the mail on the server as deleted, so could it be that things doesn't work for me and the OP because of strange behavior of the Courier IMAP server, which I would have thought was a rather common server?
