From the way you worded your message your setup is working exactly the way
it should. :-)

The Trash folder is automatically created by Courier IMAP. I don't know
how this automatic feature can be disabled. (Sam, is there any way for
Courier IMAP _NOT_ to automatically create Trash folders? I for one, would
prefer they not exist in my setup. :) )

The message's disappearance means that OE/IE5.0 automatically expunges a
folder when you leave it. AFAIK not all IMAP clients do this. I may be
wrong, though. But considering this is a "given" (unless you can configure
OE/IE5.0 NOT to expunge folders unless explicitly told to do so), I'd
either:

1. Learn to deal with this situation;

2. Follow Sam's advice and set IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH in the
configuration file, you may also want to set the number of days before the
Trash is emptied;

3. Use some other IMAP client.

Good luck. :)
