Email Question

[KyBunnies]

I work with an animal rescue. I have taken over the email account. I prefer to use an email client (Thunderbird). However, I would prefer to still keep the emails in the gmail account. In case someone else (director) needs to check on something that was sent/received. If I set up IMAP and delete the emails/folders I see on Thunderbird will the emails/folders still be on the gmail account?

Thanks but that article does nothing to answer my question. The article is talking about how to create an email address that is not tracked. I did not ask anything about creating an email so I would not be tracked.

As I understand it, when you use IMAP the changes made in one client will be reflected in any other client that subsequently checks the account. If you delete emails on one client then another client will not see the emails.

You might consider using POP3 instead. When a POP3 client is configured to not delete emails on the server when emails are deleted locally then another user checking email will still see the emails that the POP3 users deleted from their local copies.
