I am using Sylpheed as my email client in Kubuntu 12.04

When I delete an unread email in the inbox, it gets placed in the Trash folder.
When I delete a read email in the inbox, it gets deleted without being placed in the Trash folder.

The manual says: "Trash: in here all your deleted messages go."

Is this a bug or have I just not been able to find the setting?

    Either there is some setting to auto-expunge read mails, or your view of mail in the Trash folder is set to hide read messages. – dobey Mar 01 '14 at 01:50
  • Thanks dobey, you were right with your "set to hide read messages" theory. And still, it was only by pure accident I found the solution. – Nutukubuntu Mar 01 '14 at 10:58

On top of the message field in Trash view, there is a select button right next to the 'Search' field, with the options All, Unread, Have color label etc

These are filters for Trash view and need to be set to All to be able to see all deleted folder. Somehow, I had Unread set. Changed it to All solved it.

  • I mistook this button for search options. It was only when I came up with the idea that I could search for those illusive read messages in 'Trash' and set the option to 'All', that I realised that the button actually relates to the message field and not to 'Search'. – Nutukubuntu Mar 01 '14 at 11:05
