I have, on occasion, seen on exiting a folder a message asking 
permission to purge deleted messages. If I did not remember having 
deleted messages, I say no, go back in to the folder, and find out the 
message marked for deletion which I had forgotten about or not noticed 
that I had done something that would result in deletion, like moving a 
message to another folder (maybe automatically after reading, I do not 
remember why).


I do not remember now if there is some option to not purge automatically 
but ask.
