Expunge Junk Folder causes Trash to be Emptied
Last modified: 2007-11-03 10:43:22 UTC
Please describe the problem: When users chooses to expunge Junk folder, Trash is emptied too as a result. Steps to reproduce: 1. Click Junk Folder 2. Choose Expunge/Ctrl-E 3. Click Trash Folder Actual results: Trash will be empty Expected results: Trash would NOT be empty, just requested folder, Junk. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: I realize Junk is a virtual folder. This MAY occur with other virtual folders too, but I don't use virtuals. IMHO, emptying TRASH as a result of a Junk/Expunge is not a good thing to happen since mostly it's SPAM in junk, whereas, often times, people hold onto TRASH items in case they wish to retrieve something.
