Same with Roundcube: messages marked as deleted are grayed out or - if you
activate the 'skip_deleted' config option - skipped entirely.

In Roundcube internals, the "purge" command deletes all messages in a
folder (labeled with "emtpy") and the "expunge" command does what you just
described and is labeled with "compact".

"Compact" is also the term used in Thunderbird for the expunge command.

You're totally right: according to the labels used for these command, the
messages should read
folderpurged   = Folder has successfully been emptied
folderexpunged = Folder has successfully been compacted
