Useta be, when I deleted a mail folder, it would be moved to
Trash, and I could recover it if I made a mistake -- at least

recovery.
Is there an option I can set to return to the old way, or do I
just have to be perfect?
Did you set your Trash folder's Properties to 'delete after' a
certain time period?
Not especially. When I right-click and choose Properties,
everything's grayed out because the box "Use my account settings" is
checked. The only thing I see there is "Empty trash on exit," which
is enabled.
Then do your account settings set any time period for flushing?
(It's still there until you compact the Trash folder; you just
can't see it unless you edit the raw file - not for the
inexperienced.)
So you're saying there /has/ been a change.
No, I didn't say anything about a change. Folder properties, and the
time limit, have been around for a long time. Check your account
settings under "Disk Space".
Regarding 'edit raw file', you're probably aware that Mozilla mailboxes
(folders) are simple text files. In a pinch, old content can be found
via a text editor (when the client is not open). I wouldn't try that
with whole folders, though!
