Thunderbird will not let me delete email messages
Thunderbird will not let me move messages to the trash folder. If I do move a message to the trash bin the message will re-appear in the in-box. I have tried to follow the steps in the Mozilla support website but that did not work. When I try to delete a message I get the following:
The current operation on "inbox" did not succeed. The mail server for account rex@rexperry.com responded: [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX/ Trash (0.001+0.000 secs).
I am using an HP desktop machine running W11. This problem did not happen until I switched to the W11 machine.
Any suggestions? Thanks, Rex Perry rex@rexperry.com

Have you tried deleting the message instead of moving them. Try using the delete buttons or the keyboard delete button.
Matt, Thank you for the response. I am not sure why I was trying to delete the way that I was except to say that I probably wanted to keep a copy "just in case " I think that I will change my way of doing things and follow your example. Thanks again, Rex
Matt, My earlier response was in error. I accidentally opened outlook when I should have opened Thunderbird. If I try your method in Thunderbird (deleting messages with the delete key on the keyboard) the message keeps coming back. I get the message that I identified in my first note. I can use Outlook but I really prefer Thunderbird and would like for it to work the way that it should If you or any others have other ideas on how to fix this I would like to hear from you, Rex
