I accidentally deleted the Trash Folder in Thunderbird. How do I get it back? The Trash Folder itself is gone, not just the trash. Now the trash just disappears when I delete it. Is there any way of reinstalling it? Can I reinstall Thunderbird? What are the consequences if I do that?

I suggest trying to create a new Trash folder and then reset the account to use it.
