Index of Subjects Hi Malcolm. The inbox in TenFourbird using IMAP and the inbox in the Webmail are the same inbox. You're just accessing the same thing two different ways. When you were using POP3, your Thunderbird inbox was a separate thing that only existed in the hard drive of your computer. You had your mail set to delete on the server when you downloaded it to your home computer. Now what you're doing is accessing the mail directly on the server. You've got the one inbox so when you delete mail from it, that mail is moved to a Trash folder until you empty it. It may take a little getting used to but IMAP is a much better way to go. Mail downloads faster and is safe from accidental deletion if you lose your home computer hard drive. It's a mind thing to think of the inbox of webmail and TenFourBird as being one and the same thing, that's all.
