Heads-up to the maintainer: Selectable version numbering on this bug lists 4.14.7 and 5.1, but I have 4.14.10 (using KDE development platform 4.14.14). Should probably be completed Created an IMAP "receving account" called "bughunt" In the "Advanced Part", the "Trash folder" is set to the remote "Trash", i.e. "bughunt/inbox/Trash" However, when deleting a message using "Move to Trash" in dropdown menu or "delete" key, the deleted message does not appear in the IMAP folder "Trash" but instead appears in the "Local Folders" "trash" (written with lowercase) Reproducible: Always
I'm also having this problem on a new installation of Fedora 23. KMail 4.14.10, KDE Devel Platform 4.14.14. Exactly the same problem as above. If instead I move the message to Google Mail (***) - [Gmail] - Bin, that works.
I can confirm this issue, although it is happening in Kmail 5.4.0 on a relatively new install of Arch/Manjaro Linux. As with the previous posters I added a new IMAP-Account and changed the Trash folder to a folder on the IMAP-Server. A few observations: * Behaviour seems to be inconsistent across kmail account (not imap accounts) -> I have to gmail accounts, with the same exact settings (especially trash is set to an imap folder), one account deletes mails into the correct trash, the other one into the local trash -> A similar issue is happening with our internal work imap server (based on horde mail - https://www.horde.org/). At first it did not work, aka mails were moved to local trash despite being configured to use an imap folder. After having recreated a kmail account (multiple times if I remember correctly) it is magically working now. I'm pretty sure I used the same settings on all kmail accounts I created for this imap account. * Critical observation: On the accounts that do work, the designated trash folders have an "Empty Trash" option in their right-click menu. While for the account(s) that don't work [only one for me right now] the right-click menu of the designed trash folder does not have this option, instead it has the normal "Move all messages to trash" option that all other non-trash folders have (!). (Side-Note: All trash folder, regardless if working or not have the correct trash-can folder icon, its just the menu-option that missing) My guess is, moving to trash does not work, because KMail failed to (completely) register those folders as designated-trash, indicated by the missing/wrong menu-option but still correct folder icon.
After a restart (and upgrade to KMail 5.4.1) all my trash folders seem to be working, so I think (at least for KMail 5.4.1) my issue seems to be a duplicate of: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371664
