Thats for sure. The fact that more than one billion of people are using hieroglyphs doesn't make them any more intuitive to the rest. This must be a very difficult usability concept to understand by many cool developers such as Dao A button or a menu entry is needed. Thats for sure.

SeaMonkey has one menu item: <code>Tools ->Delete mail marked as junk on folder</code>. I believe TB has one (or 2.0 will have one). You can use it on your Trash folder to delete only junks and then compact it to reclaim the disk space. ;) As everyone may notice by the above comments… yeah… Shift plus del is not intuitive and there is not a menu for this.

Well... if you send you junk mail to the Junk folder and when you wanna delete them you select all (Control a) and press Shift Del... them right click the folder and choose "Compact this folder". The actual content of the Junk folder will be deleted, so there is no need to delete the file. =) Have I missed something? “hard delete”… the same as pressing Shift Del?
