	Hi,
okay, that's a different story and does not make much sense in
connection to the option. At least once you know what it is doing :)

There is a hidden option for what you want, a packaged evolution users
can use:

   gsettings set org.gnome.evolution.mail browser-close-on-delete-or-junk true

or the Flatpak users can run (split into two lines):

   flatpak run --command=sh org.gnome.Evolution \
      -c "gsettings set org.gnome.evolution.mail browser-close-on-delete-or-junk true"

which will cause the dedicated window to be closed after you delete (or
mark as junk) a message in it.

	Bye,
	Milan
