The issue with my mozilla thunderbird is that when i delete e-mails from the e-mail box in a browser they are deleted from the thunderbird also. So question is, how do I prevent that? I need to make sure that, if somebody deletes any e-mails from my e-mail box, I will still have them in Mozilla thunderbird on my PC. Thank you!

Read and understand about the differences between IMAP and POP mail accounts. You can then make an informed decision on what you want to do. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts#w_mail-accounts
