Right place to look, it turns out.

Turns out that the encoding on imap.conf had been -- somoehow --
switched to Windows Latin.  Odd, as I have no Win boxes around.
Anyway, no errors were fired, but something in the line-endings
difference caused either the mail_plugins setting, or the whole
imap.conf file, to not parse correctly.

Switched back to UTF encoding, & all's well.

Thanks for clearing that up. Still, the Trash directory _did_ exist --
created, as you pointed out, by my client.  Once I get stuff cleaned
up here, I'll check all this again ...

Thanks.
