Hmm, it seems that somehow imap_remove_all_msg() is called (which is
typically called from procmsg_empty_trash()). Maybe INBOX is falsely
recognized as a Trash?

Please check the property of the INBOX - General - Type (should be
Inbox), and the shortcut key of 'File - Empty all trash' menu.

This is the first time I have seen this kind of problem, so I have no
idea for now. Sorry.
