There is an extension [1] for thunderbird/icedove which provides a toolbar button to purge the pseudo-deleted messages. Funny that one needs to install a third-party extension for such a basic function... Still like thunderbird for my desktop ;) Compared to most of the other click-me-MUAs it's one of the usable ones for me.
