As far as I understand IMAP folders are -- largely -- case-sensitive, so I need to plan for Trash and trash (and worse), as there is no standard. Further, I cannot really expect all MUAs to honor special-use flags. My intention is to cover the most likely cases with autoexpunge.
I am still wondering if this behaviour is correct, given the case-sensitivity of IMAP.

I have set up a series of special-use mailboxes in the default namespace differing by capitalisation of the names, mainly to capture multiple mailboxes with autoexpunge
namespace inbox { ... mailbox Trash { auto = no autoexpunge = 30d special_use = \Trash } mailbox trash { auto = no autoexpunge = 30d special_use = \Trash }
Ugh... why create such a huge pain point for yourself?
I would never allow case sensitivity for usernames, or mail storage. Makes no sense.
it starts with missing standards and device- or application-specific ways to do the same thing.
