SUMMARY Using an IMAP server with a Trash folder. When an e-mail is deleted from any folder it is gone forever. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create e-mail in drafts or read an e-mail in the inbox. 2. Delete the e-mail using the Del key. 3. Try to find e-mail in Trash folder, it's not there. OBSERVED RESULT e-mail goes missing and cannot be found in any folder. EXPECTED RESULT e-mail should be re-filed in Trash folder SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon User Edition 5.21 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.15.12 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I see bug 53342 says this is a feature but it's more like mis-feature. As a long-time user of kmail I've lost many e-mails because of this, the e-mails being deleted silently does not help the situation.
Furthermore under the Configure Keyboard Shortcuts the action for Del is given as "Move to Wastebin".
