A Freudian slip
Every now and then you run across something in NetNewsWire that makes you chuckle.
I love Mail.app to death, but I am willing to admit that its IMAP support is less robust than it could be.
So the clever irony of this Freudian slip in a blogger’s 
headline struck me at once:
Sometimes Mail does frantically spin its wheels without getting anywhere. It needs a thrash folder.
However, the post he references on setting up Mail’s special IMAP folders for Sent, Drafts, Trash and Junk mail is excellent. Not knowing about this is a source of frustration to a lot of people on the Apple Discussion Boards and elsewhere.

As the aforementioned blogger, I don’t really understand what you are getting at heh. Bad English somewhere? I really do mean to point out how to point Mail.app to use my specified Sent and Drafts folders (and not the Thrash folders), but I got lazy typing the quick ‘Aside’ blog post and took what was in the title of the blog post I referenced. Let me in on my blunder :)

It’s not a blunder. It was a good joke, a play on words about Mail’s trash folder and its well-known and much-loved ability to hang when connecting to an IMAP server.
Good one. I salute you.

I’ve read this 5 times already and can’t figure it out what you’re talking about. Then again, English is not my native language either.

Thrash ~ Trash ?
