I use Ubuntu Hardy, get mails locally and run dovecot listening on

So far so good. It works. However, my problem is that Evolution cannot
delete any messages. That is, when I click DELETE in Evolution,
Evolution no longer sees the message , but the message is still
there. That's not what I want, when deleting messages I want them to
go away from Inbox.
How can I do it?
Evolution marks mail as deleted. You can then Expunge (ctrl-e) to
actually delete them. Personally, this is the way I like it.
I took a quick google to see what the procedure was for changing that to
a 'Move to Trash' folder, but it appears Evolution uses virtual folders
to emulate a Trash.

Maybe the expunge information is enough for your needs? I was assuming
you wanted a Trash folder, with data, to be seen across different clients.
