Reinstalled TB 68.6.0 on Mac, and now Trash folder is called Deleted in the client (but not on the server)

I ended up having to reinstall Thunderbird and delete my profile to clear up issues with notifications. That worked, but now there are some oddities that I haven't figured out. One is that my Trash folder is now called Deleted. The strange things about this are that 1. The IMAP directory for the folder is still Trash 2. I am not able to rename the folder in Thunderbird -- there is no Rename... option when right-clicking, and the folder properties dialog won't let me edit the name.

Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?

I think Deleted is the word used in the EN-GB version of TB, while Trash is in the EN-US version. Which version did you reinstall? All that matters is that the folder you subscribe to is the same as the designated folder for deletions in Account Settings, Server Settings.

Sure enough, it turns out that the download link that came up first for me was EN-GB and I didn't notice the dialect difference. Thanks!
