[MlMt] Trash or Deleted Messages?

[Roger Bohn]

In my version of MailMate, “Trash” is not an option. There are 5 
mailbox types, one of which is “Deleted Messages.”
   Similarly, I have a mailbox called “Deleted Messages” right below 
Junk. I do not have a mailbox called “Trash”.
    I’m using an Exchange Server. Am I supposed to change everything 
to “Trash?”

While on the subject of Trash, how do I configure Deleted Messages to 
automatically flush messages after, say, 10 days? Right now I have to do 
a manual select+flush when I remember. I have experimented with my 
folder, but not found a solution.

Thanks.
