Someone suggested I go with Virtual Trash rather than Trash to glide
by the problem people often have with full quota and impossible to
delete to trash.

I'd think the way it works is I set up Virtual Trash as my trash in
Preferences, and after this, all deleted messages are copied to a
Virtual Trash rather than Trash folder.  If I found I made a mistake
and wanted to recover a deleted message, I would open up Virtual Trash
and get the message back.

My first problem with the expected scenario is there is no Virtual
Trash.  I have Virtual Folders, and under that, no Virtual Trash.  How
does one get a Virtual Trash?  I've already tried setting it as the
target for Deleting Messages in Preferences, and yet no Virtual Trash
shows, even after logout and login.
