When accessing a Gmail account via IMAP, I'm unable to specify a custom trash folder. The default Gmail trash folder is AccountName\[Gmail]\Trash, but I would like to use something like AccountName\Trash. However, even after designating AccountName\Trash as the trash folder in Account Settings | Server Settings, when I delete a message it is moved to the AccountName\[Gmail]\Trash. There is also a strange behavior in that the trash icon is temporarily applied to the custom folder when initially opening the program, but then is applied to the AccountName\[Gmail]\Trash folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a new Gmail account using IMAP.
2. Create a new folder in the root of the account. In other words, it should be at the same level as AccountName\Inbox -- e.g., AccountName\Trashcan.
3. In Tools | Account Settings | Server Settings change the drop-down selector for "When I delete a message: Move it to this folder:" to the folder you just created (AccountName\Trashcan).
4. Delete a message from the inbox.
Actual Results:
The deleted message is moved to the default Gmail trash folder (AccountName\[Gmail]\Trash).

Expected Results:
The deleted message should be moved to the custom folder (AccountName\Trashcan) instead.

One final oddity. If you close the program and run it again, watch the custom trash folder (AccountName\Trashcan) closely as the program opens. You will notice that the trash icon is applied to the custom folder initially, but after several seconds the icon is then applied to the default Gmail trash folder (AccountName\[Gmail]\Trash) folder.
