Thank you - I think. When I filed this bug report with Mozilla, back on March 28th, I anticipated that this code would be REMOVED - providing only a fixed dialog box title instead, as with Empty Junk. No more, no less.
So, with my apologies for second-guessing: - IS there any need to do more than to replace with that line of text? - If so, should that be done for Empty Junk, as well? - DOES Empty Trash/Empty Deleted also empty Junk (as one comment implies)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1826874 Title: In Ubuntu's Thunderbird, Empty Deleted warns, Empty "Inbox"! Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Fix Released Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Issue: In Ubuntu desktop 18.10 and 19.04 (and perhaps years earlier?), when a Thunderbird user clicks on File>Empty Deleted, it warns that Empty "Inbox" will be done, instead! Ouch! (It does empty the correct folder anyway, but this should and does scare many users.) After a protracted dialog with the Mozilla Thunderbird support team, I've learned that Mozilla's own vanilla Thunderbird shows Empty "Trash", as it should. They say that the version of Thunderbird that comes bundled with Ubuntu is to blame - so please fix it. Note 1: Specifically, this wrong routine threatens to empty the active folder; commonly, that folder is "Inbox". Note 2: There's no prompt at all, if the "Trash" dialog box is suppressed. But default is (and should be) to have it enabled.
