Research direction

Start with the email node's handling of the IMAP operation named imap_expurge and check the existing Node-RED node documentation or examples. Determine the supported steps for permanently deleting selected messages rather than only applying a "Deleted" label. Done means the procedure and any relevant limitations are documented clearly.
