      <title>
        <gui>Debug</gui>
      </title>
      <p>Toggle the output of debugging information. Depending on
      what notification priority set for it in the
      <link xref="preferences-display-options">
      Display</link> page, it can show up in list or dialog as the
      program runs.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>
        <gui>Empty Trash on Exit</gui>
      </title>
      <p>Set &Balsa; to delete all messages in the
      <code>Trash</code> mailbox when &Balsa; exits.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>
        <gui>Automatically close mailbox</gui>
      </title>
      <p>Set &Balsa; to close any mailbox that is unused for
      more than the specified time. The currently displayed mailbox
      is never automatically closed.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>
        <gui>Hide messages marked as deleted</gui>
      </title>
      <p>When a message is moved to another mailbox, including the
      <code>Trash</code> mailbox, it is actually copied to the
      destination, and the original is marked as deleted. Deleted
      messages may either be shown in the mailbox index, with the
      trashcan icon indicating that they are deleted, or hidden.
      This item controls which of those actions is taken.</p>
      <p>A message may also be simply marked as deleted, without
      copying it to another mailbox:
      <guiseq>
        <gui>Message</gui>
        <gui>Toggle flag</gui>
        <gui>Deleted</gui>
      </guiseq>. Again, this item controls whether such a message
      is hidden.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>
        <gui>Expunge deleted messages on close</gui>
      </title>
      <p>“Expunging” is the act of physically removing from the
      backing mailstore all messages marked as deleted. You can
      expunge messages manually:
      <guiseq>
        <gui>Mailbox</gui>
        <gui>Expunge deleted messages</gui>
      </guiseq>, or you can set &Balsa; to expunge deleted
      messages when the mailbox is closed (all mailboxes are closed
      when you exit &Balsa;).</p>
