Second IMAP thread sending "close" command on exit, making "just mark it as deleted" impossible to use.

[EDIT: Withdrawn. Another account in the same client was set in a different mode, and only it was sending "close".]

I have been using thunderbird for ages in the "just mark as deleted" mode, and I send EXPUNGE ("Compact") when I am ready to, and not before. Lately something has been expunging without my commanding it. A local log reveals that tbird has two IMAP connections open at all times, and one of them sends a "close" command (which implies expunge) just before it exits, and possibly at other times -- messages vanish spontaneously a few seconds to a minute after I mark them. Nothing I can do with server settings makes this stop. Can you please put back the old behavior, where it never sends EXPUNGE or CLOSE without being explicitly commanded to, when "Just mark it as deleted" is selected for the IMAP account? 60.9.0 "release" update channel, on MacOS X 10.14.6.
