I am running the latest version of Thunderbird. I have 2 gmail accounts and 2 yahoo accounts. 1 of my gmail accounts shows a "Deleted Items" folder, but none of the others. How can I add this folder to the other accounts so I can track the deleted emails.

Deleted Items is usually a folder that only appears in Microsoft Exchange mail servers.

My gmail accounts use the folder name Trash, although the do have a "Sent mail" folder. This may vary depending on language localizations however.

So, how do I get my deleted items to go to the Trash folder?
