Hello John. I have tested this with a testing GMAIL account on the Thunderbird 60 (latest version - manual testing upgrade) and version 57.0b2 (available through beta upgrade channel). In these two versions, the deleted emails go correctly to the trash bin.
Just to clarify, In the account --> settings --> server settings, under "Server Settings" section in the right hand pane, you have the following Under “When I delete a message:” you have selected the “move it to this folder:” option and in the drop down to the right of this option, you have selected “Gmail” and then “Trash” Is that correct? Could you also tell me what version of Ubuntu you have?
