a feature which is especially important for imap servers, where the trash folder
is not named "trash". web.de for example calls it 'papierkorb' but thunderbild
is not able to use a different folder than 'trash' for trash.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
delete mail on imap server where trash folder is not named trash

Actual Results:  
folder 'trash' is being created and you cannot make thunderbird use a different
one for trash

Actually there is a pref for it, I have:

user_pref("mail.server.server1.trash_folder_name", "Gel&APY-scht");

in my user.js for my German IMAP account. As is obvious, configuring this get's
even worse for non-ascii folder names. I did it by setting that folder as
templates folder, looking in prefs.js, and adding the above to user.js

Someone with authority should mark this as a duplicate of bug 222798.

Bug 253309 also appears related (the ability to specify where and what the name
of the trash folder is).  There is also a bug 182274 which is supposed to add
the ability to specify this into the UI.

I agree that this should be tagged as a duplicate of bug 222798.
