HELP - Archiving Email - Moving Email from IMAP Gmail Server to Local Folder
Hello,
I am trying to archive my gmail email because I have used up the free storage.
I setup my gmail account as IMAP in thunderbird I setup a local folder I navigated to the IMAP folder "All Mail" I selected all, right clicked, and moved to the local folder
It copied all the emails to the local folder, instead of moving/deleting them.
What am I doing wrong?

The local folder doesn't exist on the server, so Gmail doesn't know what to do with the move command. Why don't you manually delete them?
