DM: Hi, John. Probably helpful if you mention whether you're using POP
or IMAP, and perhaps Claws version. Also, did you for sure transfer your
messages (emails) as well as the hidden Claws directory?

DM: Nothing specific to mention, but you'll probably want to look
through the preferences if you haven't already to see if anything is
related. You'll also want to check out the hidden preferences (see the
Claws website for info), as I'm pretty sure there's at least one
related to this, called something like 'next_on_delete'. Hope these
ideas help you know where to start looking. Maybe someone else will
chime in with more specific info/directions, etc. Cheers, ---Dustin
