Unfortunately Mail was mysteriously misbehaving when I tested marking messages in IMAP mailboxes as deleted for future expunging/undeleting instead of using Trash. Seemed like a client-side issue since Mulberry did it properly using the same IMAP servers. Maybe I'll give it another try with Tiger's Mail.

As part of my normal, morning ritual, I open up Hawk Wings and see what the latest is... unfortunately, nowadays, "latest" seems to mean "about-a-month-ago". Tim? Are you still alive? We miss our daily dose of Hawk Wings! Is this site dead?

Really, Trash folders are more a POP3 concept, and some IMAP servers won't even allow you to create one. With IMAP the standard approach to deleting mail is two step: (1) mark it as deleted (but leave it inline in whatever mailbox it's in) and (2) send a command to "expunge" to remove it permanently. You can remove deleted messages in a mailbox in Mail.app by pressing Command-K (or select compact mailboxes automatically in the Preferences). From the piece on IMAP:
