How do you use in IMAP configuration so that messages are downloaded to two devices (e.g. - iPhone & Computer) and then remain on the local device(s) until it is deleted from that device, even when deleted from the other device and/or the server? I want to be able to save some devices on the computer long term, even if deleted from the phone and the server?

You don’t. That’s no how IMAP works.


IMAP will synchronize all clients with the server. When a change or deleting is made on one device, it will by synched with all devices.
