john82 -- The instructions provided by JRF are very specific and tell you exactly what you need to do. The only relevant option that's under Options / General (step #1) is the "Advanced Options" setting. If you follow the steps exactly, it should work.

Alternatively, here is another variation of accomplishing the same thing:

Hello, I'm a user of yahoo mail in spanish languaje.
I have two accounts, one is.com and the other is com.ar, anybody knows the foldar-name for Trash in this languaje option?
Thanks!

I changed my Yahoo account to use Spanish, where "Papelera" is the equivalent of "Trash" (in the Yahoo interface). Papelera doesn't work, but using "Trash" (no quotes) does work.
