I want to apply filters to messages but still keep them on the server (iMap)

Applying a filter on my desktop that moves a message to a folder deletes the message from the server. That means it is no longer available to other devices such as my iPhone.

I can set the filter to copy the message to the folder and that will leave it on the server, but then I end up with two copies of the message - in the inbox and the folder, and that is untidy.

Is there a clean way to get what I need?

Thanks!

But as far as being able to see the messages in the original folder, that's not how imap works
