Somebody/thing automaticly emptying my trash folder, even i don't want to do so. Is this Thunderbird feature in these days? Earlier there was no that kind of function. And i can' find any setting for that.

This is "it", what i trying to figure out. They(service operator) claims that there is no auto emptying in use. For years my trash forder stay untouched, but now last summer it started to go empty every two weeks. This is annoying, because my method is shift-del for permanent deletion, and only del for mails, which maybe need rechecking later.
