After the latest update I noticed a syncing issue. I have thunderbird on my imac and I also check my email with my iphone using iphones mail program. I am using IMAP. What happened after the update is when I delete a message in thunderbird it doesnt delete from the mail server, so it still shows in my iphone. If I close out of thunderbird it then removes it from the server. Everything else is syncing correctly, like showing a message read or not etc. Just the deleting doesn't happen till thunderbird is closed. Am I missing a new setting that has to be changed now? I have used Thunderbird for my email since the start and this is the first time I have had an issue. Thank you

Hamburger button (three horizontal bars) on the upper right corner > "Account Settings" > the account you want to configure > "Server Settings" > "When I delete a message:" > select the option you prefer. (Please see attached image.)
