Noticed that PM's I was hitting the "Delete" link on while reading them weren't showing up in my trashcan. That's fixed and the fix is retroactive. What was happening was that when I wrote the "Delete" routine for PM's, I was filing them in folder 3, just like on the old system. Folder 3 was the Trash folder. That's no longer the case. The TrashCan routine works by looking for all private messages to you that aren't in any folder, including Folder 1, which is your Inbox. Whew! Was worried for a moment that since we don't use a Trash folder here, some people might've created folder's numbered 3, and I'd just zapped the contents of those folders. Not to worry. I apparently had unusually good foresight and ensured that any user-created folders started at folder number 10. Any private message to you that you haven't filed or left in your Inbox has its "folder_links" record removed. Any such message is considered "trashed". However, the message itself is never removed from the system and eventually I'll make it possible for people to go through all of their old private messages. Currently, the TrashCan only shows the 100 latest.
