Thunderbird and mails on the server

[Vladimir]

Hello,
How can I make the emails on the server delete asap but keep them at the folders on the local computers that are using Thunderbird?
I can see there is an option to delete emails older than specific days but this way they are deleted from the local computer also.

I think this only works if you move/copy those emails to some local folder (in Thunderbird there is a "Local Folders" in the left pane) and then if you did a copy, you have to trash them normally.

In some ways, I think this is what POP is for (I think) but we don't support it.
