I guess the settings about how many days to keep and if and when to delete, which are per-account now, can not be done per-folder ? Because then i could just move the messages into my special 'trash' folder ...

Or maybe there is a workaround like maintaining a second account to the same mailbox which is IMAP, but do not download anything there, then move the messages-to-delete into the IMAPs trash, and set it up that they get deleted automaticly (e.g. when closing claws) from the server ?
Complicated but at least still only just one action per mail.
