I'm pretty sure there are some folders that just aren't available.
There's also an option in Settings that allows you to select/unselect
which folders are visible to IMAP, and the general Trash folder is not
there, along with many other folders.

"All Mail" is another folder that I just can't figure out how to access.

Thanks,
