Deleting email on my phone

I asked this question on the Thunderbird Android stream but thought I might copy it here as well.

I recently switched from the Samsung email to the Thunderbird on my phone and I love the app. However, I would like to figure out how I can delete an email on my phone without it deleting it on my desktop version of Thunderbird (IMAP) or on the server that is offsite. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere but I can't find it.

Thank you.

You use POP on the phone not IMAP or, just accept that everything will be on your phone because IMAP is syncronised because with imap deletions are syncronised.
