Hypothetical scenario:
- The IMAP inbox has two messages,
A
andB
. - Thunderbird syncs, and downloads both
A
andB
. - A new message
C
, is delivered to the IMAP server. B
is deleted from the server by a different client.- Thunderbird syncs again, downloads
C
and deletes the local copy ofB
.
What I want is to prevent the local deletion of B
. I want it to stay locally until explicitly deleted from within Thunderbird. I understand it won't be on the server any longer, I just want to keep it locally.
Any thoughts?
Exactly what I do with TB. All incoming mail is put to a local folder (specific folders on other rules, common folder for the rest). – karatedog – 2011-12-20T10:11:30.750
1It didn't when I just tested it... I sent email from an IMAP account in Thunderbird; it went to the sent folder in IMAP, but wasn't copied to my local folders. When I replied to it, the incoming reply was copied. About the same time I received an email that was filtered by the server into a different folder, and that didn't get copied by the rule. It sure looks like it's only picking up messages delivered to the Inbox - though if that isn't the behavior you want, I can't see a way to change it.
