Description Aaron Buckner 2002-12-14 16:50:29 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.

Description of Problem: My Trash Folder is getting huge.  I want to
permanently delete 95% of what's in there but there are some things that
I'd like to keep.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Delete an email from your inbox.
2. View the trash folder and select that message.
3. Delete it again by hitting the trash icon on the toolbar

Actual Results:  Evo selects the next message in the list, as if it had
deleted the previous one, but the previous message remains in the trash.


Expected Results:  Evo should prompt the user, then delete the item
permanently.


How often does this happen?  Every time.


Additional Information:  I know I could create an "Almost Trashed" folder
or such, then Expunge the Trash -- but that option doesn't always make
sense.  For instance, I'd definitely like to remove the 20 or so spam
emails that I have in there which are marked as received by a date far in
the future or far in the past.

They screw up the sorting of my emails when I need to find something.
