User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031015 Firebird/0.7 (aebrahim)

For IMAP mail accounts, Mozilla always puts deleted mail in a folder named
"Trash". Allow user to specify the folder name for deleted mail.

I need this since I use both Outlook and Mozilla. I would like to send deleted
mail to the "Deleted Items" folder where Outlook sends deleted mail.


Reproducible: Always

Such a feature would be nice. I am also having troubles with the trash folder or
with deleting messages. I am using an IMAP account on a german email provider,
where the folder names are german. The trash folder is called 'Gelöscht'. 
I've set the delete option to 'Move it to the trash folder' in the account
settings. If i delete a message in the inbox, the message disappears in the
inbox but does not appear in the 'gelöscht' (trash) folder (same on the account
- disappears in the inbox but doesn't appear in the trash folder). 
Maybe a bug? Don't know the technical details of the imap protocol at all, is
there a kind of standard for accessing the trash folder? 
Or is it maybe a problem at my provider?
