This might well be OT; however, I thought I would ask anyway. Please keep in mind that the IMAP server is Dovecot. I have a friend who uses Becky Internet Mail <http://www.rimarts.co.jp/becky.htm> on a Windows system. There us an options under the configuration menu in Becky to create the trash folder on the server. It suggest ".trash" for the name. He is aware that I use Dovecot and wanted to know if that would actually work. He claims to have activated that option in Becky; however, the trash folder was never actually created, or at least he was unable to locate it. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this sort of thing. I could gather more information, but I doubt that this really has anything to do with Dovecot anyway. -- Jerry ?
