how to setup tbird that the mails reside on the server ?

run opensuse 12.3
with tbird 17.06

i have a google-account,

the settings are with imap

imap.googlemail.com

i want that tbird leaves them on the server!?

how can this be done!?

In your account setup, go to the server settings. There is a box you can uncheck in order to allow mail to remain on the server. Thunderbird will still download a copy of emails to your local folder, but will not delete emails from the server.
