On Thunderbird desktop client(6.0 or 7.0), choose Tools-Account
Settings-service settings-Leave Message on server check box(can either be
ticked or not ticked according to your option) or leave blank. Until I delete
from server check box. That's all.
This does exactly what happened to the OP in the first place, if I'm
guessing right. This option is for those who wants messages to remain
on their server even after they delete it from within the thunderbird
mail client. But if you delete it from the server ( and if IMAP is the
method of message retrieval ) then the messages will be removed from
the server as well as the client during the next sync.
What the OP needs is to set his message retrieval method to POP3.
Evolution or Thunderbird (The choice of MUI) is irrelevant here.
