When I delete a message in Thunderbird it is not deleted from my POP3 server.
I have account settings as "leave email on server" and "until I delete" both checked. When I delete the email in Thunderbird version 24.4.0, the email does not get deleted on the pop server.
If I build a filter and say "delete from server" any email that has a STAR status. The emails DO get deleted from the server when I run the message filter.
I do not believe I should need to run a filter every time I want to delete emails from the POP3 server.
I must be doing something wrong....any ideas????

I found the answer on another forum by Tom Wijsman:
Go to Options -> Advanced -> Config Editor.
Find the Name mail.pop3.deleteFromServerOnMove
Set it to True.
True: Delete the copy of the message on the POP3 server if you move or delete the message.
False(default): Only delete the copy of the message on the POP3 server if you delete the message.
That's it, restart Thunderbird. You need to press 'Get Mail' everytime you want to sync with the email server, in order for you to make sure messages in the application is in sync with the email server.
The following should be emphasized to realize the sync with the server. You will not see your server message disappear upon the initial Get Mail download (new messages downloaded). After you process your Inbox in Thunderbird by deleting/moving a new message, then do another Get Mail which will delete the new messages previously downloaded on the server (put in sync).
Note: If you have older messages in your Thunderbird Inbox, they will not be deleted from Server. Delete them manually from server. From then on, any new messages you download, then process (delete/move), and then do the sync by doing Get Mail again WILL be deleted. share|improve this answer
