Feature request -  For Tools --> Account Settings --> Server Settings - 'Leave messages on server", instead of 'until i delete them'  i want 'until i delete them from: <<dropdown with the options 'Inbox' and 'Trash'>>. I want this because accidental deletes end up removing these messages from the server. There is no second chance. The option 'until i delete them from trash' is for those people who would like a second chance.

Reproducible: Always
Could be duplicate of bug 235741, though that moves one step forward to say "compact trash", which states for 1 more step .. It does state there that delete from trash would actually be the trigger (?)

I tested tb 2.0.0.14 and version 3.0a1 (2008050715) and "until I delete" means also move to trash, so I can confirm this and not the comment in the other bug.

could be interesting for bug 326922, where some settings layout are discussed
