Move them to a folder that is stored locally, rather than on the email server.
Reading between the lines, I guess your account uses IMAP, where the design philosophy is to store all messages on the server. Since your client shows what's on the server, when you delete a message, it vanishes both on the server and in the client.
The Local Folders "special" account in Thunderbird is provided for this very purpose, amongst others.

If you have to autosave the messages in the Inbox to a Local Folder exactly what do I do ?i.e. in Copies & Folders/Message archieves, tick the box for Keep Message Archieve and select
