If there is such a setting, I can't find it. In Settings->Configure KMail->Misc->Folders there are a couple of checkboxes -- ''Ask for confirmation before moving all messages to trash" and "Empty local trash folder on program exit" -- but nothing that tells me where to find the trash folder's contents in any event. > It also occurs to me that you could have accidentally deleted a trash > folder, or accidentally dragged and dropped it into another folder. > > It could be worth your while to create another user account on your > system, log in as that user, then fiddle around with kmail, without > risking changing what's currently still working, and without risking > losing your mail.

I just did a totally fresh install in a VM. KMail definitely only has "inbox," "outbox," and "sent-mail" under Local Folders. So it's not like I accidentally deleted it. I tried creating a folder called "Trash" and deleted a message. Still not there. I tried "Search in all folders" for something that positively must match a deleted message. Nothing. I'm beginning to think that the KMail developers are all snickering to each other as they watch me through my webcam. -Alan
