  -there should be a button for it, instead of having to search around for an
actual expired article and getting "dialogue text" there.

none of this has anything to do with the mail database. Several of these issues
are covered in other bugs. I can't imagine why you'd selectively want to remove
expired articles, since the only reason they appear is because there are gaps in
the article sequences - if the expired article is before any non-expired
articles in the sequence, it automatically gets removed.

All of the issues are covered indeed, except for the second issue of performance.

See bug 98534, bug 129574 and bug 106241.

Since we only desire one issue per bug report, I'm duping to the first issue you
brought to our attention, bug 106241.
