What is the "right" way to configure MailMate (and, by association,
Mail.app on OS X and iOS) so that deleting a message puts it into the
right folder such that all of the various interacting software see
that folder as the rubbish bin and treat it as such?
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...
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.
