I am ready to accept the reasoning behind treating Gmail as a special case, and disallowing the use of user-specified folder as the trash folder.
But I think that lying to the user is unacceptable. If user's selection of the trash folder is going to be ignored, the user must be told so. Either by not allowing him/her to select that option, or at least by showing them an error message like "this option does not work for Gmail". Currently (52.1.1, eight years since the bug was reported) Thunderbird lets the user select the trash folder, but silently continues to use a different folder. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885525 Title: Deleting a Gmail Message Always Sends Item to [Gmail]/Trash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/885525/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
