Hi John, This sounds similar to another ticket: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1251182
Also There may be two possible workarounds: >From comment number 8 in the mozilla ticket: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786551 A possible workaround: (a) Use "move from IMAP folder to local mail folder" insead of "Delete". (b) Use "Archive" as your "Delete", with "Archives == local mail folder".
