Empty trash - Mozilla 1.6 (OT)

[Harvey Ussery]

Has anyone installed Mozilla 1.6 on a MacOSX system? I just did so on my 
wife's iBook. I probably should have installed 1.4, the most recent 
stable install; but installed 1.6 before realizing it wasn't the most 
recent stable ver. Anyway, installation went clean as a whistle. No 
prob's--until I tried to empty the trash within Mail & Newsgroups. No 
way can I get Trash to empty: Select Trash folder>File>Empty 
Trash--nope.  Select Trash folder>Edit>Select all>Delete--nope.  Even if 
I select an >individual message< in the Trash folder & click the Delete 
button or Edit>Delete message, nothing happens--the trashed messages 
just sit there.  I've also tried to delete from the command line; but 
the messages in the Trash folder are not showing up as separate files, 
but as one big file marked "Trash"--and I'm assuming that if I deleted 
that, I would be deleting the Trash folder itself.

I've searched the Mozilla site--no ref to this behavior as a known 
bug--no ref to it at all that I can find. Has anyone else encountered 
this behavior in Moz 1.6 for MacOSX? Any luck solving it? Can you point 
me to somewhere in the Mozilla cosmos where I can get more info?

Thanks for any insights.    --Harvey
