No that is not what I want. I don't want local copies of messages more than 90 days old. I still want them on the server. I DONT WANT ANYTHING DELETED FROM THE SERVER. The retention option is really dangerous I wish you told me that they would be permanently deleted. Permanent deletion should not be allowed in Thunderbird. Even when I delete a message in Gmail it goes to Trash.
