I'm heavily using the option "Leave mail on server" at home and in the office. I
don't use "Until I delete or move them from Inbox" since I'm having a lot of
message filters on both PC's. Once the mails are sorted into a different folder
they would be deleted on the server.

But with the option "Until I delete or..." unchecked, all the deleted junk mail
remains on the server. 

So a new option "Until I mark them as Junk" or "Until I delete them" would be
helpful for getting rid of the Junk mails, not having to download them on the
other PC again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Activate "Leave mail on server"
2. Download mails (including junk mails)
3. Delete junk mails
Actual Results:  
Deleted mail remains on server

Expected Results:  
This is the "correct" but in several cases not desired behaviour, because "Until
I delete or move them from Inbox" is not checked. But if checked, all mails
filtered by a message filter would be removed from the server.
So the expected result with an option "Until I mark them as junk" or "Until I
delete them" would be to delete a mail on the server *only* if it has been
deleted or marked as spam.

I am experiencing similar issues - when the junk filter automatically moves junk
mail to the junk mail folder - those emails should be removed from the server if
you have "Until I delete them" set... but this doesn't happen. (version 1.0, Win XP)

Actually, it appears this is basically the same as bug 195052.  Reporter 
(xerofun), if you agree, please mark this as a dupe of that one.
