Ah, that's a good idea.

My IMAP server automatically removes messages older than 30 days from
the Trash folder.  I was thinking about writing some code to move
messages from Trash to OldTrash every day, and then have the IMAP
server clean out OldTrash after 30 days.  If I only have to search
through one day's worth of deleted messages, that's not so bad.  (I
already have some custom stuff like this to keep seven days worth of
spam, so it wouldn't be too much work to add an OldTrash folder.)
