     No "show deleted", and no "purge deleted", the latter being more the
concern.

     Negative; this has been a pretty recent change.  I have a few folders
where it's very common for me to delete everything and purge the deleted
messages, and I've been able to do so until maybe a week ago (again, I
think this change happened about the same time as the RC2 release, but I'm
not 100% sure about that).  I've had IMP set to hide the deleted messages
since more or less forever.

     It had previously been in an empty navbar, with only "Show Deleted |
Purge Deleted" over on the right side.  That seemed fairly intuitive for
me, FWIW.
