Quoting "Jens-U. Mozdzen" <jmozd...@nde.ag>:

currently I'm using latest IMP from PEAR. For my account, I've set the "delete" preference to "move messages to the trash folder".

Accessing a shared email folder, I see plenty of messages marked as "deleted", as other users have different "delete" preferences, obviously at least one having it set to "mark as deleted".

I would like to finally delete all messages marked as "deleted", but see no option in the corresponding drop-down menu. I assume that this option is currently only available when I've configured "mark as deleted" in my personal preferences.

No, you won't. If you are using a trash mailbox, you will ALWAYS see messages marked as deleted in your mailbox. This is expected and the only correct way of displaying. There was a either a detailed mail message or comment in a bug report awhile back that went into the details as to why this has to be.

It's pretty much irrelevant though, since it's simple enough to filter by Deleted message, select all, and then click delete.

Would it be acceptable to change the algorithm to either *always* display that option (independant from the personal delete option - there still may be old "marked as delete" messages when changing that preference, too) or even make its appearance dependable on the actual existence of such messages in the currently displayed folder?

The former: no. The latter: absolutely not. Besides what is explained above, this would be a big performance hit for little/no gain.
