Why do I have more than one "Trash'' folder?

E-mail clients create trash folders on the IMAP server to store recently deleted messages.

Alas, e-mail clients do not agree on what to call the trash folder. Webmail creates a folder named "TRASH". Another client may create a folder called "Trash", another "Garbage", another "Deleted-Items", etc. If you are not using the the other clients, you can delete the unused "trash" folders.

If you do use more than one IMAP client, you may be able to configure them all to use a common name for the "trash" folder.
