I have used Thunderbird with a POP account for years and suddenly it has stopped deleting old messages from the server when I select "get messages". The server setting for "leave messages on server" is definitely not ticked. Am I missing something or could this be a problem on the server?

It seems to have resolved itself, so I suspect it was a server issue.

Many thanks for the support, and sorry to have wasted your time!
