I had to reinstall tbird...added my 2 gmail accounts as previously. One works well...deleted messages go to trash. The second one doesn't and they are gone! when I click 'delete' they are nowhere found, despite the option to send deleted emails to trash in that account. Please help asap. Until then, I am afraid to delete anything in that account
