Can I have my email messages stored on my hard drive with no expiration date?
My email server deletes emails after two weeks. When I used Outlook, the messages were automatically stored on my hard drive without an expiration date. Can I configure Thunderbird to do the same?

Using the Inbox for long term message storage is a recipe for disaster. You should make folders for your "keeper" email under the Local Folder account and sort those messages into those folders.

The help site seems to be down right now. I will add the link as soon as I can get to it.
