Why my deleted messages only remain in the folder items that are removed for a month? I'm looking for more old deleted emails?

my trash is only show the emails to April 28.

The account using POP or IMAP?

If the IMAP, your trash is almost certainly on the server as such, may be subject to the provider's e-mail in folders trash policy / deleted.

Check what are the rules of your provider on the retention of the trash. You can allow to adjust the period for which they are held. You can also set Thunderbird to use a trash folder under your local folders account which will be on your own hard drive and so invisible to your email provider.

And of course check the settings in Thunderbird for what to do with the deleted messages. You can set it to automatically remove messages after a set period. Go to the Tools section. The account settings for the parameters of deletion.

OTOH, if you regularly delete messages and relying on them indefinitely maintained, I suggest review you your procedure and not delete them until you are convinced that you no longer need them. Recycle trash, garbage, and are the first to go when space gets tight. Most email providers have a policy to automatically remove deleted messages from a certain age of the record, more precisely to manage and reduce the use of disk space.
