The question is as the title :  How to delete the e-mails from the server ?  ... I've thought they could be deleted form the round cube but after receiving the e-mails on thunderbird the e-mails aren't reachable on any of my accounts online ... ( it could be added to wiki )

Forgot about this one.

Are you using pop3 or IMAP?

[chetzu]

IMAP mail server ... that's the statement in my thunderbird

[Eli L]

So is the problem you cant delete emails or the emails go away in the server when you download them?

[chetzu]

No . I've heard that the e-mails are stored on my computer in thunderbird and on the server . Now I want to delete the e-mails on the server to free up space and keep only the e-mails stored on my computer. The problem is that if I receive an e-mail on my thunderbird program the mail isn't reachable through the webmail clients from the cpanel like roundcube . What's the problem ?

IMAP is a sync between what you see on the server and your compter. If you want to store emails on your computer and delete the ones online then try using POP3.

[chetzu]

oh ok ... but how do you delete the emails from the server with POP3

[Eli L]

There might be a setting in thunderbird for it. Or you can go into round cube and just delete them all.
