I help manage mid-sized (SMB/SOHO outsourcing) mail systems and can 
attest to the fact that some people seem to never empty their trash 
mailboxes. For support purposes, if I could, I would would eagerly 
auto-expunge all of our users' trash mailboxes on an aggressive schedule 
(7 days seems good) if users would modify their behavior and thinking to 
treat their trash mailboxes (and messages marked as "Deleted" in regular 
mailboxes) as a short-term safeguard against accidental deletion rather 
than as a permanent archive of mail that isn't worth their effort to 
categorize.
