Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 378474

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: 2.0

One of the features of Thunderbird prior to version 2.0 is the preference to "Leave messages on server" with the sub-preference "Until I delete or move them from my Inbox".  The release of TB 2.0 changed this preference to "Leave Messages On Server Until I Delete".

One of the useful things about the 1.5 behavior is that the Junk Mail Controls of TB can be used to clean the Inbox of a POP server automatically.  A number of other users take advantage of this feature to manage Inboxes in other ways.

Maybe two preferences can be set, one for "until I delete" and one for "when moved from inbox".
