Thunderbird 102.0, When I delete a message it disappears completely. It used to got o Trash folder, in case I want to retrieve it. Previous versions said to go to settings and choose the folder you want a deleted message to go to, that doesn't appear in 102.0. Any ideas?

This was the old fix doesn't work now.

    Right-click on the account name, and select Settings.
   Select Server Settings.
   Under When I delete a message, set it to Move it to this folder.
   Click OK.
