Thunderbird Mail

| Default is Leave on Server for a maximum of 14 days, and Until I Delete | them. | That's the default in TBird *if* you enable saving it. I've never adjusted that setting and never left email on the server. Similarly, OE defaults to leaving it for 5 days if it's saved, but the default setting is not to save it at all. If you do a search I think you'll find the default is to delete when the email is downloaded. Years ago I think only about 5 MB was allowed to be left. It was standard procedure to delete when the email was retrieved. The idea being that your ISP was just doing you a favor in holding it until you could get it, and they couldn't afford to let you waste space. Later, with laptops, cheap storage, and gmail spyware webmail, it became optional to leave email on the server and even, in the case of gmail, impossible to actually delete it. |
