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
IMAP_EMPTYTRASH.
