With FastMail you should go with `Trash`. Some IMAP servers actually 
tell the email client which one to use by default. This is true for 
FastMail:

	S: * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "/" Trash

(The `\Trash` value is a flag which MailMate and other email clients can 
and should use. It's described in [this 
RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6154).)

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.

After that you should move all messages in “Deleted Messages” to 
Trash and then delete the “Deleted Messages” mailbox.

I hope this helps.
