            Bug ID: 3501
           Summary: "Empty all Trash folders" should probably respect the
                    "get mail enabled" flag for an account
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.11.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3

When away from home I can't access my "home" email account.  So I go to "Edit
accounts" and switch of the "get mail" ('G') flag for it.

"Get from all accounts" now obviously ignores the "home" account.

However, when I "Empty all Trash folders" and I have inadvertently left Claws
Mail in a state where it believes there is a message in the trash for the
"home" account, I get an error saying I can't connect to the server.  I'm a
compulsive trash emptier so this gets quite distracting.  :-(

Can you please consider treating the "get mail" ('G') flag as a more general
account enable/disable flag and use it to stop "Empty all Trash folders" from
trying to empty the trash in a "disabled" account?  Given that there is no way
to temporarily disable an account, using the "get mail" flag is as good as it
gets.

I know that I can empty the trash for individual accounts... but I always just
reach for 'D'.  :-)
