Ok, that would be tricky since it would require MailMate to reconnect to all mailboxes with deleted messages on exit. It also seems a bit strange (to me) to require closing MailMate to expunge messages, but I usually never quit applications unless I have to.

A “naive” implementation would prepare all the emails for deletion on exit, but in practice it would (mostly) happen when MailMate was launched...
