I know the first doesn't work, 
I've had this Imap account with the same Trash file for three years and
have used evolution for the past two, and I have reinstalled many times,
and it never found my Trash folder, well, it finds it, it just wont use
it.  However, if I create an account with Netscape, or Mozilla for my
imap, it immediately starts putting deletions in Trash on my server... 
I did look at the xml files and I don't see anything in there that is
related to deletions and where they should go, thanks anyway for the
tips.
