If you have a 250MB Hotmail account, the problem is that Microsoft has
renamed the underlying mailbox ID for the trash can.  As a workaround,
John Freutel, the maintainer, has added a --move option, so you can do
something along the lines of --move "Trash Can" instead of --delete.
I've been doing this for some time with success (using the latest
version from Sourceforge).
