Hello:
My IMAP mailbox at my ISP is close to full. I would like to delete most of its content form the IMAP server but keep messages locally.
I use seamonkey mail (almost equal to thunderbird if I know correctly) with configured IMAP mailboxes.
Very similar to Thunderbird, they share code I believe.
There is an option for download/synchronize messages for offline use which makes a local copy of the messages. My question is if I use this method, and delete messages on the server afterwards not from seamonkey mail (eg in webmail), will be the local messages deleted after a new connection started from seamonkey mail? In other words is the synchronization bi-directional or uni-directional?
They will be deleted.
If bi-directional, what would be the most effective way to clear the server while keeping local messages with possibly maintaining the original directory tree?
Just mark the emails and block copy or move to another folder, which can be a local folder (ie, files in your home directory) or in another imap server, local or remote. I use local, served by dovecot. There are many variants of the procedure. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
