Well, the use case is that I have many emails marked as deleted because I think I do not need them any more. And then, once in a while, when I see a lot of deleted emails in a folder, I go and have a quick look at all the deleted email subjects, if I do not find any that has been deleted by mistake, I expunge the mailbox. -- Mathieu Arnold
