To all problem repoters:
Which is actual problem of this bug? Or which is actual request?
(A) Because "trash selection UI" accepts other tha [Gmail]/Trash as "trash
folder in Tb for Gmail IMAP aaccount",
Tb must respect the user's trash folder choice by user, even if this is
Gmail account.
Tb users know Gmail's particularity pretty well.
i.e. UX bug.
(B) "Always Use [Gmail]/Trash (localized name by Gmail if Display Language in
Gmail is not English)" is reasonable and aacceptable.
"trash selection UI" must not accept trash folder selection change if
Gmail IMAP.
"trash selection UI" must not lie on actual trash folder selection.
i.e. UI bug.
Root cause of confusions by users in this bug is "mismatch between UX and UI".
Second cause is that Tb users usually never try to read "User's Guide or Manual
of Gmail/Gmail IMAP provided by Gmail", even though "particularity of
Gmail/Gmail IMAP" surely exists. Who is responsible to the "particularity of
Gmail/Gmail IMAP" is never Thunderbird Developers. Who is responsible is surely
Gmail/Google. Gmail's recommendation is "Remove it immediately" because
Auto-Expunge of Gmail IMAP is enabled by default.
FYI.
For "Archive granularity", [Gmail]/All Mail is used as Archive folder by
default.
So, solution like (B) is already introduced to avoid user's confusions.
"Archive granularity" option is disabled in UI if Gmail IMAP.

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.
