FYI.
"Archive button for delete mail", "Mark as Junk button for delete mail" is not
good workaround, because bad side effect occurs and it's pretty confusing.
Another simple solution for power users/who understand Gmail/Gmail IMAP well.
- Any user can add toolbar button by "Custom Buttons" addon.
And, such job is pretty easy for users who requested solution for this bug.
- Button script for "copy/move selected messaages to a mail folder" is pretty
simple.
Simply request "copy/move selected messaages at Thread pane to a mail
folder".
- Create a button for "ordinal delete" == move to a Gmail Label which you want
Create a button for "permanent delete" == copy to [Gmail]/<Localized trash at
Gmail>"
Because of your private script, hard-coded folder name is sufficient.
- GetSelectedMsgs() : returns currently selected messages at Thread pane.
SharedScript(msgDBHdrs,TargetFolder,MoveMode) :
copy mails to requested folder, if MoveMode~=true, delete msgDBHdrs.
For "ordinal delete" : SharedScript(GetSelectedMsgs(),<Gmail Label you
want>,true)
For "permanet delete" : SharedScript(GetSelectedMsgs(),[Gmail]/<Localized
trash at Gmail>)
- If required, create EmptyGmailTrash button when IMAP trash model != move to
trash.
because "Empty Trash" is greyed out if IMAP trash model != move to trash,
"Select All + Shift+Delete at [Gmail]/Trash" is sufficient though.

Title:
Deleting a Gmail Message Always Sends Item to [Gmail]/Trash
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird:
Confirmed
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Thunderbird 7.0.1, Ubuntu 11.10
Gmail accounts do not obey the setting in Account Settings -->
[Account] --> Server Settings --> When I delete a message
I changed this to move the message to Gmail's "All Mail" folder,
attempting to imitate the Gmail web interface's "Archive" option.
However, regardless of setting, the item always moved to Trash. This
persisted after restart of the client. The settings save, but have no
effect.
Caveat: This was tested on two Google Apps for Domains accounts,
though I suspect this behavior will happen with gmail.com accounts as
well.
