Anything I can provide to help debugging?
Anything in the dovecot.log file?
Nothing besides the login message.
With what mail clients have you seen this happen.
Eudora 6.1 on MacOS 9 and 6.2.1 on MacOS X.3.9.
Are you using IMAP or POP?
imap over ssl. mbox format.
"Trash" is just another mail folder as far as an IMAP server is concerned (the only "special" folder is INBOX), so it would be very odd for Dovecot to be moving things there.
The IMAP way of doing things is to mark a message as "deleted" and wait for the client to send an "expunge" command (sometimes called "purge" or "compact" by the mail clients). Some mail clients don't use this functionality and move the message to a "Trash" folder instead, which may be local or on the IMAP server.
Quite. But when "something" marks a mail as "deleted", the client updates the mailboxes accordingly. I.e. when Dovecot plays with the mail flags, the client follows.
