I am using two different computers, a Mac (TB 31.7.0) and a PC (TB 31.7.0) on an IMAP server. The PC is my primary computer and I have been using TB on it for about 6 months. All is going *really* well but for one little problem that I cannot figure out! When I delete an email on my PC, it goes into a "Deleted Items" folder, *not* the trash folder, which is how I want it. This is what I have specified in the "account settings" in TB. (See screen shot of "acct settings - pc" attached.) I use the Mac when I travel and there I have the same account settings (see screen shot of "acct settings - mac" attached) but anything that I delete from my inbox on that computer goes to the "trash" folder. How do I get the Mac to put emails I delete into the "deleted items" folder, not the "trash" folder?

Thanks for your help.

I did double check and I am subscribed to the "Deleted Items" folder on the Mac.

The "Deleted Items" folder does show up on the Mac. A screen shot of the folders on the Mac and the folders on the PC are posted below. (Note: I had to do two screen shots for the PC, since I couldn't get them all in one shot).

Thanks for your help.
