dovecot - May 2007 - deleted Messages don't go into Trash Folder always

Hi all,
most of the time deleted messages aren't moved into trash folder but go 
into nirwana. Sometimes it works correctly. But a restart does not 
guarantee this function. This effect exists with different imap clients. 
Can anybody help please.

I'd enable the mail_log plugin, so you can see what Dovecot really does.
In combination with rawlog (well, I prefer ethereal/wireshark) to snoop 
the client<->server connection you'll see what goes on.

IMAP server doesn't move deleted messages to Trash. Some clients can be
configured to do that, so if it's not working it's either a client
configuration issue or there's something else wrong.

You could enable mail_log plugin to see what the clients are doing
(http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailLog). Also look at Dovecot's error
logs to see if there's anything (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging)

Many thanks,
I'm afraid I have to update first. My kubuntu dapper installation has an 
older version of dovecot.
