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.
