I have been use many mailing lists; and I use two pop3 servers (two account).
Many times, when one of these mail servers is down, I get the messages in the
other. That is very important, because I have many questions in lists, and I
don't want to miss them.

But when the servers are working good, many mails are incoming, and I have two
copy from every mail (see python list, 8-10 digest in one day).

I try to find a solution to this problem - because in this time I have only one
way to delete these mails: if I click on every folder, and Ctrl+A, and Delete
it's content, and next... etc.

I have 22 of these folders, and 22 on every account. So you see, what a work is
to empty these folders...

I think, the solution is that:
I move these folders under (below ?) a main folder. Some days I click in the new
function "Empty folder + empty subfolders", and voila - I do it with one click.

So: I missing this "Empty folder with subfolders" function from this program, I
think, that mail client is better with that.
