Deleting emails with iMAP
I have a Mac ( OS Sequoia 15.3.2 ) , an phone 18 and an iPad 18 ( both OS 18.3.2 ). My MAIL runs on iMAP ( all devices). I wish to be able permanently store some emails on my Mac whilst clearing these same emails from the Inboxes of my iPhone and iPad. Will moving these emails from my Mac inbox into a to either a Local Folder or Smart Folder on it, prevent their deletion when I delete them from the other devices.
I understand that with iMAP, deleting an email from one device Inbox deletes it from all devices. Simply, are emails in Mac Folders and Smart Folders safe from other device Inbox deletions?
Thank you.
iMac (2017 – 2020)
