This seems to have been changed with KMail 1.10. Here (KMail 1.9) those 
two menu entries are separated by three other entries. Also, "move to 
trash" has to be acknowledged explicitely, i.e. a "Do you really ..." 
message box is shown.

Anyway, AFAIR I only used the corresponding "Empty trash" action that is 
used for Trash folders. I don't remember ever using "Move all Messages 
to Trash" except for testing the functionality.

I'm not sure whether filing a bug report for this makes sense. Since 
it's not a serious problem the bug report would probably be ignored or 
be put very far down on someone's todo list. It's probably better to 
escalate this on the usability mailing list.
