Archiving marks messages as deleted

Hi all,

has there been a recent change in Thunderbird's archiving behavior? Whenever I archive an email in Thunderbird, it only gets marked as deleted since a recent update (about 2-3 weeks ago). The emails then stay in the inbox until I fully delete them. Previously, moving an email to the archive would delete it from the inbox right away.

Is there any option to control this behavior? It makes my inbox quite messy - especially when on the go and already archived emails keep appearing in my inbox.

Many thanks in advance.
