Mail sync to server

How do I stop emails from being deleted from Thunderbird when I delete them from my ISPs server? There must be a connection or sync that can be broken but I can't find anything.

If this is an IMAP account, that's how it works. If you want to keep messages on PC with an IMAP account, move them to a local folder.

Thank you very much Martin
