Hi,

Would like to know if there is a way to delete specific emails from server without doing a global setting to delete emails on delete on thunderbird. E.g. I would like to delete all messages on server for the junk/spam folder when i delete it in the thunderbird client. I do not want to do a global setting for all messages and I want continued access for mails from other devices

Thanks in advance

Is your account IMAP or POP?

No, with pop your choice is delete on download, delete on the server when you delete in Thunderbird or leave on server.

hmm, but then IMAP would not have emails locally in offline mode
