Thunderbird: working on a plane
Dear all, I am unable to delete or archive Thunderbird e-mails offline, such as on a plane. In the past, this was possible. Now, I can only do so if I am on-line. Can someone perhaps help? Thanks. Walter

Assuming you are referring to an IMAP account, you must be online to access the account. When offline, you can delete what is shown on your PC, but the message remains on the server until you can sync again.

Sorry, David. It's me again. The e-mails are all downloaded to my notebook, not kept on the server. Does it make a difference? On my phone, I can delete messages on a plane and offline, and when I land, these changes are made. I would love to be able to archive the messages and delete them on my notebook when off-line, albeit I fear this may not be possible.
The issue is that the notebook must, at some point, go online so the IMAP account will sync and delete the message from the server. And, if the account is IMAP, it is impossible to download to PC and not be kept on server. Is this a POP account?
