After a reinstall of my OS (Ubuntu), I can no more delete message with the «Del» key or with a right click/suppr. The only way is to drag and drop them to the Trash folder.

(see the attached screen copy of my config) Concerning the folders, I can not delete them. Even when I drag them to the Trash folder, they stay there as subfolders...

Hello Matt, thanks for your help. I started Tb in safe mode, as you proposed, and the problem was still here. But it seems that after restarting it in «normal» mode, the problem was solved. Really strange, but I'm really happy ! Thanks a lot.
