How to Save Imap Emails in local files automatically

more options

Hi guys, I need help for a problem I'm facing. Here (where I work) we have three computers with the same account. They use POP. It works pretty good but sometimes, when one of the computers reads the email the another two can't download it. And it's bad because all of the three people have to see the emails. So I went in the server of the email to ask if its possible to make all the computers download the emails, but its pretty hard to do this with a POP account, because to all the 3 computers see the email it can't be marked as read. So if I do this, the peoples who uses the computer will not know what email was read. Sooooo they tell me to use IMAP. Its the best option, but i cant leave all the emails in the server because it will be full soon. So i see a option that is, use IMAP, make a copy from the email in the server for a local place, and them put the thunderbird or the server to exclude the emails read or after one week. Buuutt it has a lot of emails every day, and make a copy for every single email it will be boring and annoying. So now the question. Does thunderbird have some plugin or configuration who just copy every email automatically to a local place? I have to make this for every email? I have another solution from this problem?

Thank you Guys :)

I think a filter like the one in the attached picture would do this.
