In any event, it now sounds as if you want to move messages out of your "inbox" after a given period of time.
For that, you'd use "Message Filters" located in Tools.
No that is not what I want. I don't want local copies of messages more than 90 days old. I still want them on the server. I DONT WANT ANYTHING DELETED FROM THE SERVER.
The retention option is really dangerous I wish you told me that they would be permanently deleted.
Permanent deletion should not be allowed in Thunderbird.
Even when I delete a message in Gmail it goes to Trash.

Well, I did write.... "And tell T-Bird to delete messages after a given number of days". I thought the
term "delete" was self-explanatory.
I don't think there is a way to recover them since if you look at the Account Setting you'd find the global
settings which informs the user of its actions.
Bottom line, it the messages aren't in Trash they are gone.
