Can sks please explain purpose of local folders? I have 2 accounts with their own sets of folders, why do I need Local Folders as well? Desktop win 10 64 bit system.

I would like to keep using imap (because directory synchronization and such) instead of pop, yet I also want to configure thunderbird to delete (expunge) emails from the server after a certain number of days while keeping them intact offline. The reason for this is that I want to keep an offline only archive because it is more secure.

I currently only see options to delete everywhere after N days or delete locally after N days, but I want to keep local and delete from the server. It looks like the server software my email provider uses doesn't have a setting for it either, so doing this in thunderbird is my best chance of getting ut done.

Hi, I have Thunderbird installed on a desktop and laptop. If I read, delete or archive a message on my desktop, should it automatically read, delete or archive on my laptop.

I know that Android app is not yet finished, but I am wondering if there are plans for Wear OS app as well? There are no full-featured mail clients on Wear OS, so this might be a great opportunity to be first.

Thanks for your efforts!
