Ah. I've never set up a discard rule - I've always thought them potentially dangerous as - of course - they delete mails. If one accidentally mis-codes the condition they will then delete the wrong things.

It's always safer to move mails you think might be garbage to some other folder, and review those folders' contents before deleting them for good.

In the normal browser webmail interface, though, all the discard rules are listed at the top of the rules page, under a heading which says "Permanently delete the message:" - surely that's easy to understand?

Is it more ... ambiguous ... in the app(s)?
