Hello, I accidentally checked the box "don't ask me again" when emptying a folder, in this case spam folder. How do I change it back? I have multi email accounts and they all don't ask me anymore. I have the latest version 102.11.1 (64-bit). Just have Thunderbird installed, don't have any add-ons or anything. Not sure what other details are necessary.

If this is for the Junk folder, toggle mailnews.emptyJunk.dontAskAgain to false (default) in Settings/General/Config. editor.
