Some clients may offer this, but it's highly misleading. IMAP doesn't
move messages to trash, it flags them as "deleted". Once you "expunge" a
mailbox, all mail flagged as "deleted" actually gets deleted.
There are two ways to implement a trash folder:
1. A virtual folder that shows only messages flagged as deleted.
2. An actual IMAP folder, and when the client "deletes" something, it
actually moves the message to this folder. I would count that as
deliberate abuse of the protocol.
Best,
