You didn't state _in the trash_ folder in your previous message.
(I guessed, tho'! :P Looks like the other respondents didn't!)

 $ sudo grep -i trash /etc/courier-imap/imapd
 ##NAME: IMAP_TRASHFOLDERNAME:0
 # The name of the magic trash Folder. For MSOE compatibility,
 # you can set IMAP_TRASHFOLDERNAME="Deleted Items".
 # IMPORTANT: If you change this, you must also change
IMAP_EMPTYTRASH
 IMAP_TRASHFOLDERNAME=Trash
 ##NAME: IMAP_EMPTYTRASH:0
 # IMAP_EMPTYTRASH is a comma-separated list of folder:days. The
default
 # setting, below, purges 7 day old messages from the Trash folder.
 # IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7,Sent:30
 # as shown by ls). It is perfectly ordinary to see stuff in Trash
that's
 # changed when the file is moved to the Trash folder (and at other
times too).
 #IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7
 IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:14,Junk.Possible:14
 ##NAME: IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH:0
 # Set IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH to move expunged messages to
Trash. This
 # mail from trash. Trash can be manually expunged as usually, and
mail
 # will get automatically expunged from Trash according to
