While connected to Wi-Fi, intended recipients do not receive my sent emails. Sent emails are shown sent in the Sent folder both in my desktop Thunderbird client and the web client directly linked to my email server.

My SMTP settings are correct, and when on mobile data, rather than Wi-Fi, emails are received by intended recipients.

I have tested this on multiple networks, with various providers, and have also attempted on a VPN connection to eliminate my IP address as an issue.

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.
