In the Server Settings for a mail account, there is the preference:

  Leave messages on server

    Until I delete or move them from inbox

Now, I would like to be able to have messages removed from the server if I
delete them. However, if I move them from my inbox, I would like the messages to
remain on the server. 

So, I would like to see this preference split into two different preferences.
The user should have the ability to:

  Leave message on server
    For at most 'x' days
    Until I delete it
    Until I move it from the inbox

With out any objects

So, can the status of this bug be moved to New? 
I would love to see this change made by version 1.0....

This issue is the one thing that I noticed right away in switching from Outlook
Express to Thunderbird.  This needs changed as suggested.   Outlook does this
correctly.

I started a thread in the Thunderbird features forum about this before being
pointed to this bug report.   As it is I can not use the option "Until I delete
or move the item from my inbox", due to the "move" part of this.   This should
be separated from the delete option.   I really want the delete option, but
NEVER want the move to remove an item from the server.

Please consider this change for inclusion in a eminent release.

Deleting from server when message is trashed should be an option for POP3
accounts, like it is in Eudora.

Please fix this (at last) ... would help a lot!

Wouldn't have to download all the junk at home as well. The option as it is is useless for anybody who reads mail at work and at home (and moves mail to folders) --> many people.
