How can I stop the synchronisation of the source email to Thunderbird desktop email?
I want to use Thunderbird as a one-off back up of my source email folders.
On Thunderbird PC, I have done this under Fetching mail settings with "Folder Poll Frequency" set to Never.
On Thunderbird Desktop Account settings are different. On Server settings, I have unchecked for new messages, but they are still coming through. Any advice how to stop the messages synchronising from the source email system?
I will then delete a lot of old messages on the source system, knowing they are available on Thunderbird desktop

What is your account type - POP or IMAP?
Server Type: IMAP Mail Server
On Server settings, I have unchecked for Check new messages at startup Check for new messages
Thanks
Did you also uncheck 'allow immediate server notifications?
