There's no difference between deleting in the garbage mailbox and expunin=

The ???? that you saw is just the dust that the deletion of a mail in tha=
t mailbox did,
see, when you delete a mail, the index file of the mailbox, at the line w=
here that mail
is loaded, it is overwritten with ? so it is ignored when loading.
To delete all those ???? just go to Mailbox >> Speed Up.
