Automatic cleaning of the " Deleted " folder.

more options

Hi. I have a Thunderbird 78.2.1 for Linux 64-bit. I read and delete messages and they are moved to the "Deleted" folder of this mail account. OK. The setting "Clear on exit" is enabled for the account. But it doesn't clear when the program is closed. And the "File - > Clear deleted" function doesn't work either. If the right click on the folder "Deleted" and "Clear deleted" - works.

When creating the mailbox, the wizard incorrectly specified the identification method. That's why automatic deletion didn't work. The question is removed.
