Well, I admit that my inbox is pretty slim, though not
non-existent . Filtering puts 99% of my mail in its
own folders, but I don't want to accidentally delete all the
items in one of those folders either because I am too tired to
see straight. I still think an "empty trash" command makes sense.

It could be, and let's hope that's the reason. That's one of the
things I would be looking for but first I wanted her to backup the TTB
file and, while there, check and see if the messages were still
actually inside.
