Folder->Expunge (for one folder, also Ctrl-E) or File->Empty Trash (for
all of them) seems to synch with the server, though of course we can't
be sure it won't change in some future version since there is no
user-level spec for Evo AFAIK (by "spec" I mean a precise definition of
the effect of each command, also known as a reference manual).
