Firefox doesn't have a Trash folder.

What kind of items do you expect to find in the Trash folder?

If you remove or clear specific data then this data is usually gone. There is an undo action for removing bookmarks and there are backups for bookmarks.

Hello vegaspatt,

You probably meant to post this question on the Thunderbird support forum ..... (?).

But maybe you'd like to take a look at this thread and see if the Chosen Solution answers your question :

If not, let us know and we'll move this to Thunderbird support.

Cor-el, that solves my problem. I thought there was a folder containing my many deleted emails. (Trash).

No wonder I could not find the folder.

I had cleared out a folder in my email account and just wanted to know they were not still on my PC.

Thanks.

Are you using a web based email client or an application like Thunderbird?

A web based email client might have its own Trash folder.

I rarely use Thunderbird anymore.

I use Yahoo mail on the web.
