OK here's my problem: OS WIN 7 Pro, TB 31.2.0 - fresh installation for both (aka new client system) Setup multiple IMAP accounts > TB creates it's profile under: %systemroot%\users\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxx.default\ImapMail\ where folders are created for each account. Under account settings - synchronization and storage - advanced - offline use > all folders are unticked. As an extra precaution - don't download messages larger then 50 Kb is activated. A quick check revealed that TB has created INBOX-es on the client that are identical in size to the server-based IMAP Inbox. In other words completely ignoring the retention rules.

Perhaps you did uncheck offline use for Inbox after checking for new mail the first time, so the messages in Inbox got downloaded initially.
