Why would you want to do this?  The Trash folder is there by default 
to hold any deleted messages.  If you delete one by mistake you can 
retrieve it from Trash until you R-click the folder and select Empty 
trash.


Because there are two Teash folders now one under the Input and other 
under the Email name.
Before doing anything, quit SeaMonkey and restart it.  If that solves 
the issue of two trashes you are good to go.  If not try some other 
suggestion.  Sometimes when a program is first opened (i.e. loaded into 
the computer's memory) the code gets mixed up and weird things occur. If 
the cause of two trashes is the result of a computer glitch, it maybe 
one trrash can drawn in two different place.  First try the least 
harmful solution, restarting Seamonkey, then if this doesn't work 
restart the OS and if this doesn't solve the issue, then attempt a fix 
you might not be able to undo, such as deleting the extra trash can.  If 
it was a program glitch and one trash can was drawn in two spots, likely 
by now would be fixed when you restarted SeaMonkey or the OS.  If you 
first tried tot delete the trash Can and the problem was that there was 
only one trash, but because of a computer glitch was drawn twice you may 
end up deleting your one and only trash can.


The rule of thumb for computer fixes is to try the least harmful 
solutions first before the ones that might harm the program or computer, 
i.e. deletes your only trash can where there may be no undelete/undo key.

Read again.

He says it's a subfolder of Inbox, which it shouldn't be.

If you delete it, you should be left with only the root Trash folder 
(assuming both existed).


If you delete the root Trash folder (intentionally or otherwise), the 
next time you restart SeaMonkey it will create one.


If you want to move a misplaced Trash folder with contents to the root 
where it belongs, just click and drag it to the account name.

Or you could drag and drop those messages to another folder before 
deleting the Trash files. It's probably a better practice to save 
valuable messages somewhere other than Trash. Jes' sayin'...

I've compacted dozens of times without problems.  Now, if I try to

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1

Assuming in the absence of any evidence that you're using SeaMonkey, 
click the first message to select it, hold down the SHIFT key and click 
the last message. Then hit the Del key. Do exactly as you would to 
delete files in Windows Explorer.


That selects all lines between the two clicks. Useful for deleting a 
large number of contiguous lines.



CTRL-click works, too, to select  noncontiguous files.


Actually, with my SeaMonkey v.1.1.16 (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel 
Mac OS X...) I find that the command for selecting non-contiguous lines 
is Command-Click, not Control-Click.
