If it's an IMAP e-mail account, that's expected behavior. A local IMAP account just reflects or mirrors what's on the server.

I would set up filters to automatically direct important IMAP emails to local folders on Thunderbird. Automatic archiving might be another way, but I don't know how archiving works with IMAP.
