Since you're using gmail, all the mail stays on the server and Thunderbird keeps a local cache for quick access. Well, while what you say is true, the OP may be like me. While I do have email sorted to folders I don't want to keep some emails past a given period of time. (this account is on gmail servers) I don't have the discipline triage. And I just don't want to see them any longer or be tempted to scroll through emails from 2018. :-) :-) So, I use the nice feature of T-Bird. Right-Click on the folder you wish to manage. Pick "Retention Policy" And tell T-Bird to delete messages after a given number of days. I manage folders individually rather than a single "account setting". -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
