Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

I think evolution should add a feature to delete a single message without first moving it to trash (and then you have to expunge all the trash folder to delete a single messages). I know that to permanently delete a single mail you have first to delete it (moving it to trash) and then you have to expunge the trash folder but this operation delete all the trashed emails and not only the one you want to erase. I think a user should have a simple option to achieve to this simple goal.

Sorry about my ignorance, but have you tried Shift-Delete, which is common to delete something and bypassing the trash.
