Messages that I delete keep being re-downloaded. How do I make them go away for good?

I just started using Thunderbird. No problem with downloading and installing the program, setting up my 2 email accounts to be viewed as a unified folder - all went well. Then messages were downloaded dating back more than a year. OK - I sifted through everything and deleted what was not wanted. (Keeping the inbox under 500 messages is the goal.) Then the messages were downloaded again. I deleted them again a few minutes ago. Then got a message stating 229 messages were just downloaded - same ones I just got rid of. I assume I set up the accounts incorrectly but I'm not sure where I went wrong.

How did you setup the accounts before POP or IMAP?
If you're going to set them up again and you previously set them up with POP, try IMAP this time.
