[pmmail-list] trash may not be deleted

[Warner Young]

Hi Marty,

I'm pretty sure it's safe to delete the files in your Trash folder from
outside PMMail (so long as PMMail isn't running).  Then re-index the
folder after starting PMMail again.

Or you could try the beta, since that fixes the problem.  I don't know
if there's something in the beta that was broken that will affect you,
though.
