[imp] Deleted messages not moved to trash from client applications

I have been a catalog.com member for years and because they recently started
to offer IMAP email access I decided to switch my Gmail IMAP account over to
webhero so that everything would be in one place. I have experienced a
difference between how IMAP is implemented on webhero.com. I have
successfully configured Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail (Vista) and
my iPhone to connect and send and receive emails via webhero.com. However,
when I move a message from one folder to another or delete a message using
ANY of the above clients (except my iPhone), the effected message REMAINS in
the current folder and is simply marked for deletion. On my iPhone it works
properly or should I say like a POP3 account. I would consider that this is
(purely) a client side feature issue EXCEPT for the fact that all the
clients listed above worked properly with Gmail IMAP with no additional
settings. Therefore, there must be some IMP/Horde or IMAP configuration that
can be set in order for messages to be moved to the trash when they are
deleted using a remote client. NOTE: When a message is deleted using the
web/horde online interface it is moved to the trash and does NOT remain in
the current folder is NOT marked for deletion. This is due to the fact that
I have selected the option in the Horde interface to operate in this manner.

 

I'm sure this question has been answered already however I find no way to
search the mailing archives.
