The menu that displays on Thunderbird for Server Settings does not match the menu on the help forum. There is no option to leave messages on the server. I want to have Thunderbird delete emails from the server after it downloads them.

If that option is not showing you are using IMAP. That option only applies to POP. I suggest you Google IMAP to learn how it works and differs from POP.
