Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Hello,
Making mails appear in trash when they are moved, is very, very confusing. It too me, a power user and programmer, a while to figure it out. My wife just couldn't. She kept restoring important emails eventually having a mess. Furthermore, from time to time I go to the trash, to see if there's anything important there, something I've done frequently in KMail. With Evolution, it's so full of important duplicated emails, that if I accidentally deleted an email, I'm never going to find it.
Thank you.

I confirm this. I believe that it is not really a bug, but this way of filling the trash with 'good' mail is very disturbing and render the trash nearly useless to find mails that would have been deleted by error.
