True IMAP Trash Folder

Mozilla mail client does this.  It uses a Trash folder on the IMAP 
server.  However, there is no setting that I found which specifies where 
the Trash folder should be or what it is called.  It simply just works 
as expected.  I am using courier-imap for my imap and that is what I get 
here.
