Well, I basically agree, so whilst I've not done the pictures, I've 
done my best to find and document the reasons why trash mailboxes are 
a bad idea on IMAP. Strangely, while thinking about them, I found a 
couple more (such as interaction with shared mailboxes, and reliance 
on UIDPLUS for any reasonable efficiency).

See 
http://svn.dave.cridland.net/svn/ietf-drafts/draft-cridland-imap-trash.xml 
for some XML2RFC source, or temporarily 
http://dave.cridland.net/draft-cridland-imap-trash.txt

I suggest that discussion of this, if anyone feels it's worthwhile, 
should probably take place on the IMAP protocol list, rather than 
here.

Dave.
