Now as I and others have commented the point of IMAp is that you shouldn't have needed to download the messages in the first place. if you intended them to be downloaded to a single device then you'd use POP. But if you planned to read your (remote) mailbox using multiple devices (aka phone/tablet) then you want them left on the IMAP server. It seems TB can *also* download a *copy*.
Yes, I believe this copy is 1) for use in off-line mode and 2) for faster indexing/searching.
Well to those of us that have the capability to be on-line with not just TB/PC but with a variety of portable devices - phone, tablet - all the time, and that's why we're using IMAP rather than POP, this is a bit irrelevant. if you want to download for reading all your stuff off-line and to search everything, then fine: use POP. As it is I only download very specific messages to my file system where they are managed by my dovecot server. Which is also IMAP accessible :-) And has great indexing. I just wish that my email tools could draw on the capabilities of dovecot's indexing and search capabilities better. https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS
The only thing that does, it seems, is Basil's suggestion that you delete the whole TB account.
After disabling sync, I tried deleting an individual mailbox, that worked fine.
What do you mean by "an individual mailbox" Do you mean the whole account? Do you mean all the message in INBOX?
