Empty trash on exit works only if I've checked out trash before

Hello all,

I've spent some time testing and trying to figure this out myself but without success. Epic fail some would say.

I'm running Thunderbird 128.4.3esr (64 bits) under Rocky Linux 8.10 (Green Obsidian) installed via Flatpak (Mozilla Thunderbird Flatpak en-US, thunderbird-flatpak - 1.0).

I have multiple IMAP accounts all set to empty trash on exit.

When I quit Thunderbird, I can see the actions it's performing in the bottom right among which I do read « Corbeille vidée » (trash cleared) for each account. But these trashes are not actually emptied.

I first thought it was not working at all but after more testing it seems like it does work but only for the trash that I've looked into before leaving the app (click on trash in the sidebar to display the message list it contains).

If I remember correctly it was working fine when installed from Rocky repo.

If anyone has any idea on the why and, even better, has a solution, that would be great.

Regards, Charles

There is a fix which has not yet reached version 128. It might get in the next version. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1896545

Nyttig?

Hi there,

Thanks for the intel (and the comment on the ticket).

After digging into duckduckgo I couldn't find anything and thought I was the only one with this issue.

Guess I have to wait for the fix.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Nyttig?
