POP3 or IMAP? Desktop or Android?

If IMAP, are you sure your local folders are actually local?

Edit: By local I mean in the "Local Folders" tree not under your domain tree where the inbox is.

It’s IMAP and I think I set to keep local but you’re making me doubt myself. Thunderbird settings are worded in a confusing manner

Even if you say to keep a local copy, I do not think it is truely an independent local copy unless you actually move it to "Local Folders". Otherwise it is probably just a local replica.

No expert with IMAP, though I have used Thunderbird for decades, I have just switched to IMAP myself in the past year.

You’re right. They were not local at all!
