I'm amazed this bug is almost 4 years old. This feature was working fine for me up until I "upgraded" to v17.0.2 from 16.0.2. Downgrading back to 16 didn't fix this. This is annoying to say the least because Gmails Trash retention is only 30 days and I prefer to keep my Trash longer.
A workaround I found is: 1) disable "Show In IMAP" under Settings>Labels in the Gmail web interface for the Gmail Trash folder 2) unsubscribe from the Gmail Trash folder in TB Both actions seem to allow permanent setting of an alternate trash folder. This is not ideal however since access to the Trash folder is then lost via IMAP. -- 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
