[plug] Evolution Trash not deleting

[David Buddrige]

Thanks heaps for your reply Richard.

I tried the Ctrl-E option, and it [again] synchronises much the same as
when i use the context-menu after right-clicking the Trash button, but
when it's done, the email messages are still there in the Trash folder.

thanks

David.

I also use Evolution, and I can't find the options you're talking about,
BUT when I want to get rid of deleted emails, I pres <ctrl>-E (Folder
---> Expunge) and they go away .....

It may take a looong time to do the cleanup, though.
