Quoting Christopher Audley <audley@cnsolutionsllc.com>:
| I've been testing RELENG_3, which will presumably be RC3, and come
| across one problem that will really confuse users. When the option to
| move deleted messages to the trash folder is set to true, the 'Hide
| Deleted' and 'Purge Deleted' commands are no longer presented to the
| user.
|
| This assumes that no messages marked deleted will be in folders other
| than 'Trash'. This may be true when IMP is the only MUA that users are
| using, but it is generally false. Netscape 6.x, for instance, follows
| the move to Trash paradigm but only occationally does a folder
| compaction which is responsible for removing files marked for deletion.
| Outlook Express default to just marking messages for deletion.
|
| The result is that users will often see files marked for deletion in
| their mailboxes that they can neither hide nor purge when using IMP.

Changed in CVS. Take a look at:

We should merge this if it doesn't break anything for 3.1
