After recent upgrade my "localmail" in Thunderbird disappeared.
This is mail from apache, root etc, it goes to "/var/mail/username"

In the past Thunderbird had a setting to add local mail, but I can not find it in new version.

I think in the new version, there is a Thunderbird add-on "LocalFolders"

But, I created manually new folder: local_mail
and simlink mail from /var/mail/thelma to local_mail (in Thunderbird)

When I restart Thunderbird, the local mail appears and I can delete it in Thunderbird
But the mail is not being removed from file: /var/mail/thelma even though permission is correct:

-rw------- 1 thelma mail 12K Dec 31 02:08 /var/mail/thelma
