Folder questions on a POP setup
In my new setup on T-bird POP, is there any justification for the Trash folder appearing twice, once as non-local folder and once as a local folder? Or is this just an artifact of having an IMAP option as well? There is no such thing as a downloaded Trash item, right? So in a logical sense, shouldn't the Trash folder in non-local be removable on POP, or just automatically disappear when POP is selected? There are no other folders duplicated between local and non-local, so the duplication just looks odd and confusing, even though it may be of little or no functional consequence. Is there no way to eliminate one of these two folders, perhaps the non-local one?

I am unsure of your issue. POP accounts are local, but not necessarily in Local Folders. The trash folder for POP is, indeed, local but it is part of the POP account. There is a Trash folder in Local Folders in case you delete any messages from message folders there.

Thank you for responding. I just needed to understand why things are as they are. I am also testing em_Client right now, which has an easy way to hide unwanted Local folders. If I may paraphrase: Even with a POP setup, there are two sections of the nav pane, the email Account folder area higher up, and the Local folder area lower down. An email deleted in the Account area will appear in the Trash folder of the Account area, and an email deleted in the Local area will appear in the Trash folder in the local area. Makes sense. I had thought an email deleted in the account area would go to the local folder Trash because this is POP, not IMAP. I should have just tested that, but did not think of it. I will mark as solved.
