Default IMAP Trash Showing/Not Showing

It's not giving me any messages or anything.. When I added the IMAP
accounts to my Outlook I see some folders: "Inbox", "Inbox.Drafts",
"Inbox.Sent", "Inbox.Trash", "Junk E-mail" and "spam".

The "spam" folder I know that one is there because I enabled spambox
on my hosting account. The other folders are defauls created by my
host. If I log in via webmail I can see the files in my
"Inbox.Trash", but not through outlook.



The Junk E-mail folder is Outlook's addition. It shouldn't get created
on the server side unless a message gets placed in it. At least that's
how it works for me.

If this happened to me, I'd enable diagnostic logging and see if I can
spot an issue.

I've been playing around with these folders and I see that my host must
have setup special folders such as: "INBOX.Sent", "INBOX.Drafts",
"INBOX.Trash". On my webmail I see that those folder have special
icons, but any other folder that is created gets a regular folder icon.
So I tried to delete and recreate the "INBOX.Sent" folder, but it
immediately put that special icon on it. So I deleted that one and
created "Inbox.Sent" folder and it got a regular folder and my rule
works for it in Outlook.

I also realized that INBOX.Trash is probably doing the same thing and I
don't need to look in the Trash folder too often so let it be. Thanks.
