Can I have my email messages stored on my hard drive with no expiration date?

My email server deletes emails after two weeks. When I used Outlook, the messages were automatically stored on my hard drive without an expiration date. Can I configure Thunderbird to do the same?

Using the Inbox for long term message storage is a recipe for disaster. You should make folders for your "keeper" email under the Local Folder account and sort those messages into those folders.
