I'm not sure what the OP wants to do (expunge individual messages
perhaps?), but he didn't say he meant local mail. And of course Trash is
a virtual folder so the local format is irrelevant in any case, unless
you mean going outside Evo and hacking the storage directly ...

I imagine one (laborious) way would be to move all the *other* messages
in Trash to a temporary folder, Empty Trash, then move them back again
(not forgetting to delete or expunge the temporary folder as well).
