Well all the E-mail clients i have used, INCLUDING Thunderbird, let me dowload nad erase from server (or not now that someone reminded me) the folders I stored in with T-Bird were all local.
But once I got into more serious use of the internet. I stopped using client mail. I hear folks say "Crappy web mail" but I've not seen that. The only advantage I've seen to client mail is I can "hit" the server, then go offline.
Back in Dial up days, that was good. but with modern always there internet, I use web.
And I go all the way back to a program called NET TAMER.. HINT, not a windows program. Older than that.
The 'old' protocol, POP3 operates like you suggest: Download and delete. IMAP synchronizes the clients. It has no downside.
As for "crappy" web interfaces. It's a personal thing but I generally despise them. Smart phones allow more actions like sliding, long press, double tap and other direct interactions with apps that are more efficient, especially on a small screen. Using the web makes everything a touch-only interface, usually with latency between actions...not my cup of tea.
