When I download all messages from the server, they are still accessable on my phone. How can I ensure the server is blank?

When I delete a message I do not want a copy of it stored on the (cox) server.

I previously used Eudora and when I deleted a message it would delete from my phone as well when I sync'd. Now, when I download messages to Thunderbird, I can also download them later after to my phone.

Is there a solution, or should this go to the dev team?

I guess this account connects using IMAP?

My experience is that if I delete messages in Thunderbird, they vanish from the server. If I want to keep them, I move them to Local Folders in Thunderbird. But in an IMAP-connected system, "downloading" them, by design, leaves them on the server. (I am aware that some phones use a quirky implementation of IMAP where you delete messages but the deletion is local to the phone and leaves the message on the server. But Thunderbird doesn't work this way.)

Maybe you used POP in Eudora? That would download to the client, Eudora, and, by default, delete from the server.
