Again, as you noted - there are clients doing that, so this is not a
technical limitation of the IMAP protocol. I admit I have not studied
the RFC for IMAP, perhaps it says that the only accepted way to delete
mail is to mark them as deleted instead of moving it to the Trash
folder.

Be it this way or the other - please do not think of "technical
arguments" as something old-fashioned or something that stands in the
way of progress. What we need are well-designed and well-defined
standards that would boost the progress. Now imagine how would modern
email access look like if there was no IMAP nor POP and all the email
providers created their own "user-friendly" protocol for doing that.

Title:
  Evolution virtual trash / "real" trash on IMAP server

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  Confirmed
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,

  This bug refer to the bug 12439 of evolution
  (http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6061).
  Evolution developpers don't seems to understand the importance of this bug. So,
  evolution being the main Ubuntu MUA, I think this problem concerne Ubuntu.

  I explain you quickly the problem :
  The evolution Trash is a virtual folder showing mails marked as DELETED on IMAP
  server.
  In a "one user" on "one desktop" and "one OS", it's probably a really good think
  for all reasons given by evolution team.

  But in my environnement : multiple user, multiple OSes, multiple MUA, ... it's a
  critical probleme.
  For security reason (too easy to definitively destroy a mail) user the MUA must
  copy deleted mail in a real Trash mailbox on the IMAP server.

  I can use another MUA like thunderbird, but I loose the really good  integration
   of evolution in ubuntu.
