I do not empty my spam folder daily and in no time at all it can contain over 1000 messages......give it a week and there might be over 10,000.
I have been online with the same email addresses for a dozen years and the spam tends to build up.

Playing with RoundCube a bit more, as a work around you could delete the entire mailbox from the "Folders" area of "Personal Settings" and then create a new folder of the same name.
Or just click the "Select: All" link and then delete 40 messages (or w/e your messages/page limit is) at a time. Sure, it's not perfect, but it works alright if your mailbox isn't tooooo huge (I am assuming you don't want to empty a 10K+ box every day that is not called "Junk" or "Trash" :P).
Hmm, this got me interested; how does roundcube handle huge mailboxes anyway? So I tried;
$ for ((i=0;i<100000;i++)); do for> echo "spam $i" | mail -s "spam $i" $USER for> done
Even though this stopped after the ulimit -u was reached (it sent ~2k messages in total) it gives a pretty good impression of how roundcube handles it... not very well.
At first, I set my user preferences to allow message windows with 100K messages but because of the hard 200 limit in the config, I only saw 200 messages. At least I saw them.. once I also modified that value I saw nothing anymore. The roundcube error logs gave:
[25-Jan-2008 00:21:34] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2049 bytes) in /a/boao/www/webmail/roundcubemail-0.1-rc2/program/lib/imap.inc on line 133
The HTTP response body was empty, status 200. Changing back all the values, deleting all messages with thunderbird (which worked very smoothly, btw), restarting the webserver; nothing mattered. It kept saying that in the logs. To eventually get it to work again I had to empty the trash with thunderbird and "compact" all the folders.
Anyway, not that this is a very likely situation.. It's still quite interesting to see that once it's too full, it's too full and you're doomed if you don't have other means to access your INBOX :)
