I can find no option in Mozilla Thunderbird to delete e-mails from the server once they have been downloaded. Consequently the server is filling up with e-mails I have downloaded. I do not want to have to keep on logging in to my sever mail account in order to delete e-mails.

What is your account type - POP or IMAP?

POP or IMAP?

With POP, this is the conventional way to use it. You download messages and doing so deletes them. Alternatively you can arrange to leave copies on the server for other email clients to be able to see them. The setting to do this can be found under Tools|Account Settings|{select account}|Server Settings.

With IMAP, you're supposed to store messages on the server. If you want to remove them from the server, move them to the Local Folders account in Thunderbird.
