<br>
Some of my configs seem to be using a Deleted Messages folder, others are using Trash; I'm hoping to go with what should be the "default" but I'm sensing that there's a fundamental difference between these systems...</p>

<p dir="auto" style="margin:1em 0">With FastMail you should go with <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">Trash</code>. Some IMAP servers actually tell the email client which one to use by default. This is true for FastMail:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">S: * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "/" Trash
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto" style="margin:1em 0">(The <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">\Trash</code> value is a flag which MailMate and other email clients can and should use. It's described in <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6154" style="color:#3983C4">this RFC</a>.)</p>
<p dir="auto" style="margin:1em 0">So, in MailMate you should select the Trash folder and make sure its “Mailbox Type” is Trash. I'm quite sure you can do the same on iOS although I cannot remember exactly how :) You'll have to google it.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="margin:1em 0">After that you should move all messages in “Deleted Messages” to Trash and then delete the “Deleted Messages” mailbox.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="margin:1em 0">I hope this helps.</p>
