Possibly.  My rules have been pretty basic so far: if sender contains
email address, delete.  I have multiple of these but now that I look at
the UI more closely I could group these into one filter.

I just tried to update one filter to use "Move to Folder" to put
messages in trash but the trash folder is not selectable in the "click
here to select a folder" dialog.  Is there a trick to this?  Junk and
trash are the only folders that aren't selectable.  Maybe I have
something configured wrong?

Possibly.  I need to clean up the filters to make one catch-all for
obnoxious posters.  That might make it work better.

Thanks for the info.
