[Bug 885525] [NEW] Deleting a Gmail Message Always Sends Item to [Gmail]/Trash

 

Public bug reported:

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.
