How to Delete Email Messages in Mozilla Thunderbird

Published Jul 21, 2026

You can easily remove email in Mozilla Thunderbird.

 

If you use the POP email protocol, the email will only be removed from Mozilla Thunderbird and remain on the mail server. With IMAP, email is deleted on both Mozilla Thunderbird and the mail server.


1. Open Mozilla Thunderbird.



2. Open Inbox, right-click on the email you want to delete, and then click on Delete Message.
