Description Keith Davis 2006-08-28 14:41:07 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I would delete a message to trash folder.  Then Im unable to delete the message from this folder.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Delete a message.
2. goto trash folder and delete a message.
3. 


Actual results:
The message would be deleted from inbox, and be sent to trash folder.  You try to delete the message and the message just sit there.  No effect.

Expected results:
That the message would be deleted from my system.

Does this happen every time?
Every time.

Other information:
I use KDE as my desktop.

is this about a POP or an IMAP account?
you can remove messages permanently from trash by expunging it.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.


As I do understand the description and steps to reproduce, this actually is a duplicate of bug 301388 -- deleting mail from Trash should expunge that mail.

Also, as Andre already pointed out:  To physically remove deleted mail, either use File / Empty Trash or Folder / Expunge.  Empty Trash will physically remove all deleted mail from all folder, while Expunge will do this for the currently selected folder only.  HTH
