I was trying to empty my deleted mail folder, and accidentally deleted the entire folder. No worries. I created a new subfolder. But, now when I select the <delete> button, nothing happens. How do I route emails to be automatically stored in my deleted folder when I select the <delete> button?

In Tools menu (Alt+T) > account settings > server settings make sure the delete action is pointing to the correct folder.

Don't see any arrows. Server Type: Server Settings: Message Storage:

But nothing with arrows. Please advise.

I do not have these options as pictures. My server settings indicates: Check for new message at start-up Check for new message every 10 minutes Automatically download new messages Fetch headers only Leave messages on server

    For at most 14 days
    Until I delete them

That is the end of the section. Next header is: Message Storage

Please advise.
