Steps to reproduce:
My thunderbird is configured to use a Trash folder. When I'm browsing a Inbox and press delete, the message is refiled to Trash. If I use shift-delete, I get the (desired) popup dialogue, "This will delete messages immediately, without saving a copy to Trash. Are you sure you want to continue?"
If I use shift-delete while in the unified folders view of Inbox, there is no popup/dialogue (undesired) and the message is deleted instead of being moved to the Trash folder.
When I'm browsing a Trash folder and press delete or shift-delete, I get the (desired) popup dialogue.
When I'm browsing the unified folders version of Trash neither delete or shift-delete cause a popup (undesired).
The Sent folder has similar issues. Currently when in a specific Sent folder, delete sends to Trash, shift-delete gives a popup confirmation. What I believe would be better is to give the popup for both delete and shift-delete (e.g. Trash semantics).
Neither delete or shift-delete cause a popup in the unified folders version of Sent (undesired).
My ask is, could we please have delete confirmation for unified folders? Could we have delete confirmation for both delete and shift-delete in the Sent folder? I would also like to see confirmation for moving messages out of the Trash or Sent folders.

I'm not on *nix but Win 10 21H2 and TB 95.0b1. This doesn't repro for me on 95.0b1. WFM.

This doesn't repro for me. I got no pop-up.

This does repro for me. I got no pop-up as well.
The Sent folder has similar issues. Currently when in a specific Sent folder, delete sends to Trash, shift-delete gives a popup confirmation. What I believe would be better is to give the popup for both delete and shift-delete (e.g. Trash semantics).
Neither delete or shift-delete cause a popup in the unified folders version of Sent (undesired).
This does partly repro for me. I got a pop-up in either Sent or Sent Mail with Shift-DEL but not regular DEL.

I'm just a user here but I think traditional OS behavior is to always warn on Shift-Del actions due to it's no-going-back destructive permanence. I know Windows 10 does warn with either type of delete action. But application specific delete actions are, I guess, left up to the devs.

And I don't know if this little trick still works or is of any use to your situation but: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1155312

Thanks for the suggestion but I have the default mail.warn_on_delete_trash value of true.
FYI I'm running FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE
