RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 182274

Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.20-pre-p4 i686)
Build Identifier: any

An option like mail.identity.id<x>.trash_folder is missing.
mailnews allows to adjust the names of the "functional folder names" for IMAP
like "Drafts", "Templates" ans "Sent" by setting draft_folder, stationary_folder
and bcc_folder options in prefs.js, but there is no such option for the
adjustment of the name of the "Trash" folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up an IMAP account and access it with a nationally (not english)
localized Mail Client (not Mozilla).
2. access the same IMAP account with Mozilla mailnews.

Actual Results:  
additional folder with name "Trash" appear in the IMAP account.
deleted mails go there instead of to the trash-folder with the localized name.

Expected Results:  
mailnews should use the trash-folder with the localized name.

 This is important for international use of the mailnews component, as these
"functional folders" have different names in each cultural context.
The pref mail.server.serverN.trash_folder_name, where N is the account's number
in prefs, should do this. You can set it by going to about:config in Mozilla.

Marking dup of the bug for the missing ui

(I don't really see how it would make sense for the Trash folder to have a
localized name _on the server_ in the first place, but then I'm not too familiar
with imap...)
