A trash folder doesn't receive the trash so I can't retrieve email
I'm a Thunderbird subscriber. I have one trash folder that isn't receiving the deleted emails, so I can't retrieve one if I accidentally delete it. I tried creating a new account for the email address, but it didn't help.

Are you talking about a POP or IMAP mail account ?
If this is an IMAP account: Logon to webmail account via a browser, what is the name of the default folder in that webmail account that receives all deleted emails? Delete an email in the webmail account to see where it goes - you can always move it back. Does it currently contain any emails ? If yes, do not empty that folder.
You need to ensure you are actually using that server 'Trash' or 'Deleted Items' or whatever the server calls that folder. In 'Account Settings' >'Server Settings' for the account Select 'Move it to this folder' and choose the correct folder name which the server uses on the imap account'
Also : Do you compact folders on a regular basis ?
