Hi,
The first string is for deletion of a folder itself.
To understand purge you should know a few things about IMAP: When you delete a message in IMAP, messages may not be immediately deleted from the mailbox, but instead "marked as deleted" but left inside the mail box. Client programs either do not show these marked messages or show them with strikethrough.
Purge (or commonly called Expunge) goes over the mailbox and *really* deletes all the messages marked for deletion.You should translate it accordingly, a good guide should be what Thunderbird uses for your language, so uniformity can be achieved.
Note: I see that in the English translation folderpurged = Folder successfully purged folderexpunged = Folder successfully emptied
isn't there a misnaming here ?

Hi, all
What is the principal difference between "Folder successfully deleted" and "Folder successfully purged" in messages.inc?
Thank you.
Thank you, Gökdeniz Karadağ, for the answer.
Will try to check "my" languages translations in Thunderbird and update it in Roundcube.
BTW Is it ok to send to mailing list diff-file instead of label.inc and messages.inc?

Same with Roundcube: messages marked as deleted are grayed out or - if you activate the 'skip_deleted' config option - skipped entirely.

In Roundcube internals, the "purge" command deletes all messages in a folder (labeled with "emtpy") and the "expunge" command does what you just described and is labeled with "compact".
"Compact" is also the term used in Thunderbird for the expunge command.

You're totally right: according to the labels used for these command, the messages should read folderpurged = Folder has successfully been emptied folderexpunged = Folder has successfully been compacted
