View / Hide Deleted Messages


FYI, the long answer:

Deleting a mail does not instantly erase the mail, but mark it for
deletion (just like most other mailers do it, too). You have the option
of still seeing these "deleted" mails or not.

The Trash actually only is a vFolder (virtual Folder) which lists all
mails marked for deletion.

To permanently erase the "deleted" (actually marked for deletion) mails
from disk, use Actions / Expunge (current folder) or Actions / Empty
Trash (all folders). You can setup Evolution to Empty Trash on Exit, so
you will not have to manually empty the trash.

Deleting hasn't changed in 1.4.x versions (even since 1.2.x IIRC).


btw: There is no such thing as the 1.4.2 version... ;-)
