216887 - RFE: Context menu for Empty Junk Folder

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 189911

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Eric Scouten]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.2a (20030813)

The menu items for clearing the Junk folder and emptying the Trash are 
inconsistently placed. Would like them placed consistently (duplicate if 
necessary). See steps below for the rather complicated workflow I have to use 
to get rid of Junk mail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Junk folder.
2. Choose Tools > Delete Mail Marked as Junk in Folder.
3. Right click on Trash, choose Empty Trash.
Actual Results:  
Mail is removed, as expected.

Expected Results:  
See "additional info" for recommended enhancements.

Plan A (ideal IMHO): Add a right-click menu item on the Junk folder that 
says "Empty Junk" and gets rid of mail immediately. (Does not move to Trash.)

Plan B (still acceptable, but not as nice): Add a right-click menu item on the 
Junk folder that says "Delete Mail Marked as Junk in Folder."

Also would be nice (in addition to A & B): Add a menu item under Tools that 
says "Empty Trash" for consistency with the placement of the existing Junk 
handling items.
