Cheers that's sorted it. Should have thought of that myself.

Fair point. (It was  2.32.1 by the way)
I forgot about this as I was really looking the external command.

Not that I know of. Note however that technically all Evo is doing is to
tell the IMAP server to expunge. You could in principle have a separate

I just use CTRL-E, so no clicking is required. Configure Evo to not
require confirmation and you're all set.
