I receive a lot of email and like to keep those that are interesting or useful. They mainly consist of YouTube videos from channels that I have subscribed to.

Since I do not have the time to listen to them right now, I have put them in various folders that I have created. My intention is to listen to the YouTube videos and then delete the email. I currently have around 400 of these YouTube video emails.

FIRST QUESTION I have noticed that I also have over 19000 emails in my 'All Mail' folder (collected since I opened my Mozilla account). I want to delete them but, if I do, will it also delete the email in the other folders that I have created?

SECOND QUESTION I've noticed there is nothing in my 'Bin' folder. Even when I am deleting email from my inbox, it never seems to land in any folder. So, where does the deleted email go?

Thanks.

There is no such thing as a Mozilla account. Thunderbird is email client software running on your computer. Mozilla stopped developement of Thunderbird software about 4 years ago and turned it over to the Thunderbird Council to keep the project going.

The All Mail folder is a gmail thing and yes it is exactly what it says. It is all your mail. Gmail keeps everything in one big folder and when you add tags it gives the appearance that these messages are in other folders. Anything you delete in All Mail is gone . Even items you delete are even in All Mail as this is gmails process of Archiving messages. You probably have 2 bin (trash) folders. One created by Thunderbird and one created by gmail. Go to Account Settings-Server Settings and see what you have set for .... When I delete a message...
