I'm trying to set Thunderbird to delete emails on my email server at the same time when I delete then on Thunderbird. This email is attached to my website, and it is IMAP.

To state the obvious, you delete them.

However do you have expunge set in account settings? it should be on. You will also need to have the correct "deleted" folder that matches the server one.
