Not that I know of. Note however that technically all Evo is doing is to
tell the IMAP server to expunge. You could in principle have a separate
program do that periodically if you wanted. Probably fairly easy using
the Perl IMAP library (not that I'm offering :-)

I just use CTRL-E, so no clicking is required. Configure Evo to not
require confirmation and you're all set.
