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

chance of 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?
Asked and answered. No.
Anyway, if I delete a folder, it shouldn't be purged from Trash
instantly even if I do use the setting you have in mind. It should be
visible there until that time has elapsed.
(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".
You said it by implication.
In older versions of SeaMonkey, if I deleted an individual message, that
meant moving it to Trash, and I could see it there and move it back, and
the treatment of whole folders was exactly analogous: I could see the
whole folder sitting there in the Trash and pull it back out. This is no
longer true -- if I delete a folder, it doesn't show up in the Trash. It
just vanishes.
If you have nothing useful to contribute, I hope someone else will chime in.
