Right, I got no response, so what is the path for that account's Trash set to?


If say it was not set to that Servers Trash, but say set to On My Mac Trash, the when you move an eMail to the Trash the Mail Server would lose track of it since it can't see On your Mac outside of it's own folders... The Mail App would think you Trashed it, the Mail Server would think something was out of whack & download it to you again.
