I'm changing e-mail addresses from @att.net as I will soon lose my ATT service. I chose @outlook.com instead but have found that messages I receive at that address do not delete from the server after they are downloaded and if I try and delete them there after I have downloaded them, that also deletes them from my computer! I have not had this problem with my att messages which delete automatically as I download them. I do note that the outlook server type is IMAP whereas all my att addresses are POP-3 and the options shown in Mozilla for that server type are different from the POP-3 ones. I've tried the "clean up (expunge) inbox on exit" but that doesn't do it. I don't want, or need, to leave the messages on the server after I have downloaded them - what settings do I need to change please?

Thats how IMAP works. You can think of it as a view into the servers folders. If you delete on server its gone, If you delete in your view its gone. if you also compact they are un-salvageable.

If you want to delete on server but not on your pc then either use POP3 or move messages to a folder under Local Folders. You could set up a filter to move them.

You should regularly compact your folders. That way deleted messages are finally removed (They are just marked as to be delete and don't show. when you think you delete them)
