Is it possible to tell Eudora which folder on the imap-server to use for
trash?

Eudora automatically created a folder called "Trash" on my imap-account.
Unfortunately, this folder in German is ususally called "Gelöscht"
(yess,
that's an umlaut there) and I ended up with two trashes.

Mail will accept specific folders for spam and trash. How about Eudora?
I
didn't find an x-setting, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right
direction.

What about these (I haven't tried these, so I don't know if they work):

<x-eudora-setting:8508> If the Trash mailbox isn't found, this filename
will be looked for and renamed to Trash.

<x-eudora-setting:8919> Localize this to the name the user should see
for the Trash mailbox.

I found these, too, but they sound exactly like the opposite of what I
want
to do: I would like to change the trash folder for Eudora like you can
do
with Mail.

I do not want to rename any folders on the server, as they have to be
used
by a browser-gui as well.

That's definitely not what I'm looking for. Thanks anyway.

Hmm. I guess I thought this option would allow you to call your Eudora
trash mailbox by whatever name you desire. Yes. that seems to work for
me. Curious that it is not what you wanted.
