Do you empty your Trash automatically when you exit Thunderbird?

  • Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account

under Message storage

  • uncheck 'Empty Deleted folder on exit
  • click on OK

What are the Disc Space settings?

  • Tools > Account Settings > Disc Space for the mail account
  • select don't delete any messages'
  • click on OK

Is the 'Deleted/Trash' folder one on the server (IMAP mail account) ? Some servers auto empty this folder periodically and unannounced.

Do you have a Pop or IMAP mail account?
