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.

I have a problem with my Thunderbird filters. I created a filter to move all mails with subject ABC into folder XYZ. This works as intended.

However, as soon as I reply to one one those mails and put my own mail address a recipient (no matter if direct or cc or bcc), the filter will apply to that mail AS WELL AS my sent mail. I then have TWO identical mails in my folder YXZ but none in my sent folder.

What am I doing wrong? I think this used to work in older Thunderbird versions.

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!
