Can't delete mail by delete key, or by clicking 'delete' button of the mail.
Thunderbird version: 24.5.0
When I press delete key, or click 'delete' button, nothing happens. I must click right mouse button on the mail, select 'move to -> local directory -> trash' to delete it.

then you may need to create a new trash folder. In Thunderbird, right-click on your account's name and select "New folder". Name it "Trash" and it should works again.
Please confirm if it fix your problem.

Hi,
I am afraid that your are seing Bug 784267 - cannot delete mail with keyboard or delete button.
Unfortunately, we do not really have a good understanding of the issue :-(
I have the same problem.
I think that it could be a conflict with Win 8.1 update.

Hi Vicent,
Thank you. But it didn't work.
could you explain a little bit more please?
I followed the instrution to delete the trash and trash.msf files, then restart Thunderbird, but I still cannot delete mails by clicking nor pushing delete button.

Could you clarify if you use a POP or an Imap account?
