I have deleted messages from my inbox

They are moved to the Trash folder.

I can not delete the files in the trash folder at all, currently it is
sitting at 8500 messages and attachments and is eating up space.

I need to empty this folder Expunge does not work.

Empty folder option does not work either


Any help would be appreciated....

Title:
  can't delete messages in trash

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  Invalid
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm using the Breezy preview release in combination with Evolution
  2.4.0

  I was amazed when I discovered that I can't delete e-mail messages in the 
trash,
  i.e. delete e-mail messages permanently. I simply go to the trash, right 
click a
  message and choose delete, nothing happens? I'm aware that there is an option 
in
  Evolution's preferences to empty the trash folders on exit, but that's simply
  not what I want, I want to decide which messages located in the trash I want 
to
  delete and which not. Evolution keeps surprising me, it's probably the most
  advanced groupware suite/e-mail client available on Linux, but it lacks the 
most
  basic things such as autodownloading of messages at startup (I found out that 
it
  will do that when you enable the option to automatically check for messages
  every x minutes, but to me that's a totally different option), and deleting
  messages from the trash. If the option to delete messages from does exist I'm
  very sorry for reporting this, I took some time to figure it out but I 
couldn't
  find such an option.
