Keep Trash - Prevent Pop-up Asking To Delete
Every time I use TB now it asks me to compact (delete) my trash. I want to keep my trash. I don't want to move it but I do want to keep it. How can I turn off this super-annoying continual pop-up?

It is asking to compact and you should do it. IT has nothing to do with your deleted messages, except to remove them instead of hide them in the folders they were moved or removed from. Everything in your deleted folder has a residual "copy" in the folder it was deleted from for instance. This housekeeping process simply cleans up that mess.
