Description Adrian Custer 2007-03-15 10:26:59 UTC 
Expuging mail is a delicate event for which the user should receive as much info as possible. When a user expunges the junk mail folder, the Inbox is actually expunged which may well not be what the user intended.

1) get some mail
2) tag a mail as junk
3) switch to the junk folder
4) select the mail => click the delete button
5) switch the view to show deleted messages
==> the message is shown in the junk folder as a deleted message
6) Expunge the folder
==> the dialog asks about expunging the junk folder but the Inbox is what will eventually be expunged.

every folder that includes email marked for junk will be expunged, i guess, because the junk folder is a virtual folder and it is not possible to expunge "specific emails only" from a folder.

Duplicate of bug #255153?

(Note that bug #255153 is resolved NOTABUG, supposedly because this behavior is a consequence of the Junk and Trash folders design, but should perhaps be reopened to at least address the UI issues this creates.)
Comment 3 André Klapper 2012-02-06 12:15:33 UTC 
Still in 3.2.3
Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2012-02-06 14:41:41 UTC 
Expunging a virtual folder doesn't really make sense.  Adjusting summary.
