Trash Folder

folder under Local Folders instead of the Trash folder under the E-mail
account? Yes, for deleted messages, I want to merge all trash into a
single, common folder.

No direct method that I know of.
However, you could set up message filters for the Trash folders such
that the deleted messages are Moved to the one in Local Folders. Not an
elegant work-around, but it does mean you'll have to empty only oen
Trash folder, which I infer is your desire.

Unfortunately, when I try to create a filter, it applies to the whole
account. For an E-mail account (unlike a newsgroup account), I cannot
create a filter on only one folder within the account.

Change the folder view to "Smart (Unified) Folders"
(using the left<>right triangles in the folder pane)
What do you see now in the top folder named "Trash"?

Under it, I see a trash for each E-mail account plus a trash folder for
Local Folders. However, I don't see how to merge them all into a single
folder. And I don't see an Empty Trash item on the pull-down context
menu for the top-level trash folder.
On the menu bar, there is [File > Empty Trash]. Unfortunately, I don't
have any message that I want to delete right now; so I can't test that
menu item on the top-level trash folder. Anyway, I prefer not seeing
"Smart" folders; and I don't really want to view them just to empty trash.
