OK, I have an IMAP mail server that i'm connecting to and I seem to have a problem with deleting items. Before I used to use Netscape for my mail services and I could point to a folder which would hold the contents of the items I deleted from my inbox.

In my local folders I have a trash icon, but is there anyway to make one in my IMAP account? Because when I delete an item from my inbox it just puts a red line through it and leaves it in my inbox. Any way to specify a directory where deleted items should be stored? BTW I want to save all my messages, doesn't really matter if it's on local folders or directly in my IMAP account.

Before when I used Netscape I just made a folder called Trash in my IMAP and directed all my deleted items to the Trash Folder and then I would occasionally file them elsewhere for future reference.
