Suddenly, my trash folder is being completely deleted if it is empty when I close TB.

Windows 10 (64bit), Thunderbird 128.7.0esr (32-Bit)

Without warning this has suddenly started happening. Maybe after the latest update? I can get the blessed Trash folder back in TB by 1. closing TB 2. (The Trash file is missing in Local Folders, the Trash.msf file seems okay) 

   manually creating a new "Trash" file in my profile (a text file without suffix).

3. restarting TB

The Trash does not disappear if it contains something when TB is closed.

I tried excluding the Trash in Windows Defender, but that has no effect.

what happens if you delete a message in the local folders account? Does it reappear?
