[MlMt] Trash or Deleted Messages?

[Robert Brenstein]

Benny will correct me if I am wrong. As far as I understand it, the 
mailbox types are fixed and immutable but the visible names of the 
mailboxes in the list, both universal and smart mailboxes, are up to 
you. You can name and rename any of them as you wish. MM will handle 
them according to their type not name. IMAP servers, shown as sources in 
MM, also call them differently. I have a few that call that mailbox 
Trash. I have a few that call that mailbox Deleted Messages. I have a 
few that actually have both of those mailboxes but only one of them is 
of type Deleted Messages and is actively used. One server calls that 
mailbox Deleted Items.

In terms of timed deletion, there was a thread just a few days ago which 
discussed issues of actions based on timing. My workout is to have a 
smart folder that shows messages in trash which are older than set 
threshold, so I can just open that mailbox, select all, and delete. Not 
automatic but easy enough.
