Webmail and Thunderbird?

I use Thunderbird on my tabletop PC. On my laptop I use webmail. When I erase an e-mail from my webmail, then the mail escapes from Thunderbird at the same time. My webmail permitts only 30 MB, so I have to remove them now and then. I want to save all my mails on my PC in Thunderbird. How do I manage this?

Move messages you want to keep into Thunderbird's Local Folders account.

This makes a copy on your local filesystem (usually your hard disk) and it being removed from the accounts folders tells the server that the message is no longer wanted, so it's removed from the server.

This makes sense if you think of "move" as "copy then delete the original"; when Thunderbird deletes the original, it requests the server to delete the original as it tries to keep server and client (aka Thunderbird) in step with each other.
