Folder deletion does not go to the trash
Problem reported by Sabatino - 8/5/2021 at 9:34 AM
Not A Problem
In webmail, deleting a folder is permanent.
The folder is not put in the trash.

is it a mistake or is it deliberate?

This is intentional and expected behavior. Email data will be moved to the Deleted Items when purged from a folder, but folders will not.

why this behavior?

Wouldn't it have been better to have the user ask what they want to do?

Already there is an alert, you could ask the user if he wants to permanently delete the folder or move it to the deleted items

I post a proposal

This has always felt like a bug or design fault
