Bypass Trash Folder Sometimes.
Is there a way, or a config setting, that would allow you to for-reals delete an email from the inbox instead of sending it to the Trash folder? Not always, the default behavior should still send deleted emails to the trash folder, but on a per case bases be able to just delete an email without it going to the trash folder.
Same like how the windows desktop works. If you Delete a file on your desktop it goes to the recycle bin. However if you do Shift + Delete the file gets deleted without going to the recycle bin.

this is imho not controlled in dovecot at all, if a mail is marked delete, its not moved, its not expired, all it is that its read and markede for expunge, with again is not moving mails
if i am incorrect i like to see dovecot conf that on delete - expunge ignore this and move to trash instaed

Oops, wrong mailing list. I meant to send this to the roundcube mailing list.
Roudcube user here, talking to dovecot.
I've just verified something I thought was true. If you select one or more messages in roundcube, then press shift-delete on the keyboard, and confirm the deletion, it DOES skip the trash folder. Exactly what you're after.
I've got roundcube 1.4.11, but I am pretty sure that I saw the same behavior with 1.3.9.
Thanks, Shawn
