i have a Gmail account and it's already full. I download MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD and transfer all my emails, but when i deleted any email on my Gmail via MOZILLA FIREFOX browser it was also deleted in MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD. Can i delete my other emails on Gmail but the emails i deleted will not be deleted on MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD? What are the steps? Thank you!

Are you using IMAP or POP? What is your goal? Do you want the email in local folders you can read easily, or do you just want local archives?
