Hi all, I have trouble with trash in TB, both for icon and for message location.

Trash icon ('Cestino' in IT version) correctly displays when starting TB, but changes to Trash folder right after inserting password. Deleted messages are lost, wonder where. A 'Trash' folder does actually exit, where filter can put undesired/irrellevant messages. Messages deleted maully don't go there. Any help on fixing this? I'm using TB 38.1.0 on a PC with XP, SP3. IMAP account (Gmail), setted to not download messages from server. Thanks for any assistance

right click the account and select subscribe. Look for a trash folder to subscribe to.

Right click the account again and select settings. In Server settings for the account select When I delete a message and set it to the correct folder.

I am guess that Thunderbird's localized name for the trash folder and Googles are different. (Just as some IMAP servers have Trash [us] and some have Deleted [UK] in English locales)

Matt, thanks for you reply. It seems the actions you suggest did work. Strange, I already tried this before while watching some replies to a similar problem in the TB forum.I'll be back just in case something will be wrong again with this.

Once again thanks a lot for your help. Riccardo
