That's the whole point of the folder list in the sidebar.

I fail to see how navigating a folder tree is any more difficult than  
navigating a lengthy drop-down list.

Yes.

No.  If you want to delete messages and then instantly purge, you  
should REALLY be using a Trash folder instead.  You are doing a bunch  
of extra work for no gain.

Purge Deleted should be a very infrequently used option.
