dovecot - Nov 2012 - IPhone wont delete IMAP messages from dovecot mailbox

Hello!
I've got dovecot running with postfix. Have virtual users under vmail 
folder.
When I connect with outlook, I can read, delete messages.
When I sign on with webmail, also can delete messages,
Mutt is working as well on the mail server, can delete messages.

Once the message is deleted it moves  to the trash. Works as it 
supposed to.

But on Iphone, when I add a mail user, got the mailbox synced with IMAP 
I can see the INBOX, but when I delete a message, get this error:
"Unable to Move Message The message could not be moved to the mailbox 
Trash."

What causing this problem?
Please Help.

Do you have a mailbox named Trash?  Do the other clients move the 
message to Trash as well?

In stead of sending us the message from the iPhone, tell us what dovecot
puts in its logfile when you try this.

I have got dovecot logging in Debug mode.
The only problems I see:
autocreate: No namespace found for Trash
autocreate: No namespace found for Spam
autocreate: No namespace found for Sent
autocreate: No namespace found for Trash
autocreate: No namespace found for Spam
autocreate: No namespace found for Sent

in the config file I have:

plugin {
   autocreate = Trash
   autocreate2 = Spam
   autocreate3 = Sent
   autosubscribe = Trash
   autosubscribe2 = Spam
   autosubscribe3 = Sent
}

Something is wrong here...

I've seen this. Fixed it for my device by changing the settings on the 
Ipad, and then changing them back. Seems the local trash folder is not 
created automatically on iOS.
