Deleted folder in Thunderbird appears empty even when I've just deleted an email

Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

I accidentally deleted an email from my IMAP Inbox so I went to retrieve it from my Deleted folder (I have two Deleted folders for some reason - maybe from previous account configurations). When I clicked each Deleted folder, the folder displayed no content. Other folders, like Junk and other personal sub-folders, display correctly.

I've tried restarting Thunderbird but it made no difference. I'm running Feisty and I have no updates waiting to be installed.

Have you configured thunderbird to move deleted mails to your Deleted IMAP folders?

I had a play with the configuration of thunderbird and seems to be working okay now. I think maybe because I'm in en_gb locale the Deleted and Trash folders weren't mapping properly.

You can close this bug. Thanks
