Isn't there a kb shortcut for emptying a folder? If there isn't one, there should be!
I've found that junk mail filters never work properly and always catch legitimate mail which means
you still have to wade through all of it like before. I guess most people check their junk mail box
less often. But if there is a junk mail filter it should go into the junk mail folder. Doesn't
have anything to do with Trash or Deleted items. Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Junk, Trash and any other
folders you create. Keep life simple.
