Can't delete emails, trash folder not seem

I can not delete emails anymore. If I highlight the message and hit delete or click the delete button it only changes the message to 'Mark as read' but will not delete it. Also thunderbird will not delete my junk messages and move them to the trash folder. I just notice that my trash folder went invisible - invisible in the sense that it's not there in the folder tree but when I try to make a new trash folder I'm told it already exist.

What's u[? I can't delete my mail anymore. I updated to the latest version and it's doing it but it was doing it before I update to this new version.

Help please

Thanks
