Set up Thunderbird to always delete messages from the server

I want Thunderbird to delete all messages on the server everytime I open the program and collect the messages. More specifically, when I move a message read in a folder I don't want a copy of this folder or message on the server. How one who accomplishes?

Where is the folder to which you move the message?

Move your messages to local folders in Thunderbird and they will be stored on your computer and deleted the folder.

My guess is that your account is configured to use the IMAP protocol and you would be more comfortable with pop.

  • Thunderbird deletes the messages from the server if I said not to do so.

    I use a POP3 server and have 'leave messages on the server - until I delete"checked but Thunderbird is still deleting messages from the server before my other e-mail viewer gets it.

    If my other program (from MR2ICE under OS2 on another machine) Gets the first messages, I'll see them on both machines.

    If Thunderbird 'em first I don't get them on the other machine, and, when I check via webmail, they aren't there.

    Thank you.

    If you want to see messages on several machines, POP is not the best choice. You choose to use POP, or is it you imposed by the e-mail provider?

    I don't have a job here POP account to check with, but you can try with the option ' until I have delete ' unchecked? You doing anything with messages, such as moving them to another folder?

    I've never been confident with the way that ' until I have remove the ' works; If a message has been moved out of the Inbox to another folder, and you remove it, a request to delete the message always spread on the server?

    With IMAP, by moving a message to a folder in account to somewhere the IMAP server can not see it is actually a deletion; the server can no longer see the message, so syncs by removing its own copy of this message. I haven't checked through what a POP server is in similar circumstances.

    If you want that deleted mail from the server that you want to delete the account and start over with the pop Protocol, although IMAP is perfectly adapted to the use of phones and tablets and desktop computers all on behalf of a mail.

  • Delete messages on the server also messages deleted on my computer

    My problem seems to be the opposite of the queries that I saw in the forum. Today, it is now the 2nd time in the last 4 months I lost everything on my computer mailbox. It was terrible the first time, unfathomable 2nd.

    I received the message from the system administrator this mailbox is full. Went on server, empty folders. The next moment, I clicked on tuberculosis and the Inbox and all the other boxes/files except 1, emptied before my eyes. I called my ISP for help and was assured, again and again, this isn't a problem with the server, there is no way they would have access to my computer. Tech suggested that it is a computer problem, for example a virus. A virus that did exactly the same thing 2 times I went to the server for empty files and create more space?

    I'm on a pop I account I don't find any setting that would automatically delete mail from computer when it is emptied from the server. It's very painful.

    I'll have to do some reading on encryption, to see if it's important.

    It's a safety issue, and I would not use email more without SSL/TLS.

    I'll have to remove the IMAP account to actually get the POP function.

    N ° by default, POP downloads the messages from the server accessing the account and then deletes them from the server. The first time you access the account via POP, she would get all the messages on the server.
    Who should reflect on the IMAP account, there will be nothing left there now.
    Implementation of your email provider may be different if, check with them.
    If there are messages in the end, you want to keep moving on the server (IMAP) or copy them to your local folders account.
    Nothing can get lost in the process however.

    For the future, make sure to create backups of your profile on a regular basis folder.

  • TBird does not delete messages from POP3 server with setting of ' leave messages on the server until I delete them.

    I use the pop3 Storage account. I installed thunderbird to download messages only when I ask them. I installed thunderbird to leave messages on the server until I delete them. I am able to send and receive messages without problem, but the messages that I delete the Inbox of Tbird not deleted from the server.

    In addition, what is the expected behavior for messages on the server if I move them to a local folder? That should remove them from the server, or they remain on the server until I have remove the local folder?

    Thank you.

    Deleting a message that "it mark as deleted", but it's still in the folder that is hidden from view. It's now displaying in the folder "deleted".

    you need to compact your file.
    ClickON Inbox right and select "Compact".

    Inbox, junk and probably get most of the activity when it comes to deletion, so they should be compacted ona regularly.
    I have several emails that I will delete every day, so these two fodler get compacted by day.

    See info on:
    maintain a healthy thunderbird.

    Compacting file, what it does and why it is important.
