You have to indeed set this on a per-folder basis, but once you've done it, you're through. If you are looking for a global setting, this doesn't exist AFAIK. Then, under Account / Properties / Mail Management / Deletion, you can set it so that the messages are sent to an archive folder instead of Trash.

Others use an external program call Mailbag, which can read TB message bases, but I've never used it. -- Cheers, Thomas.
