You're right, INBOX is the exception. Personally, I don't see this feature
being that big of a deal; on the odd time I've had to do this -- which was
to remove mail from a test account -- I just changed my messages per page
to 999, and did some deleting. :)
If this feature were to be in, I think the safest place for it would still
be on the folder management menu.

Mike.
