Hi All,

NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="20.04.4 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS"
VERSION_ID="20.04"

I'm running Thunderbird 91.8.1, and when I delete a message, it disappears and does NOT go to the 'Deleted' folder as it did yesterday!

Thunderbird guides tell me to:

> Tools menu > account settings >server settings and change the local Deleted folder to whatever folder you want.

There is no opportunity to do that. Those options are not available and the 'Deleted' folder is not mentioned anywhere.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Regards

Chris

Maybe this is just a matter of terminology, but I'm running the same version of Thunderbird on Ubuntu MATE and it doesn't have a "deleted" folder. It does have a trash folder for each mail account in which deleted mail gets placed until I "empty trash."

Just uninstall this crap and forget this T-word.

Thank you gentlemen,

Trash is a north american word, though the old world recognises it for what it is, however, the action is to 'delete' not to'trash', and my 'deleted/trashed mails are not to be found anywhere. I note too that that the 'deleted, trash' receptacle is also called the 'Recycled' bin. on other machines, however,we're smart enough to understand the inference.


All the Thunderbird instructions on the matter make it quite clear that i can choose where to send the deleted files at the point of deletion, however in the menus identified for these alterations, no such options exist.

a few days ago everything was as it has been since I started using thunderbird, and now, not only do I not have a 'deleted' folder, but I am oenied the opportunity to recover a mail, deletedby accident.

PartiZan, these sites and pages are quidance and help to be distributed, a wonderful aspect of the Linux world.

your anger has no place here
