When I delete a mail item, it goes into the Kmail trash folder.
That is (IMHO) like putting papers from the desk to the trash
receptacle next to the desk.  Or in the trash bin.

The trash man doesn't come into the house and empty  my
trash.  To me, that is what Kmail is doing.  I thought that
it would not be deleted from the file system until I deleted
from the trash folder in Kmail.  That is what I'm saying.

Evolution does not delete until I delete the item from the
trash folder.

If two programs like evolution and kmail differ in behaviour
then I think that the first time the program is run a message
or information should be noted to the user.

Thought for the masses and program developers.  Authors 
of books would be the first to write the behaviour in the
program chapter.

I think I might go back to UNIX mail or pine...... :-)
