When I delete domething on Mac Mail it automatically deletes it on my Yahoo server.  Why and how can I get it left on the server?

When I delete something on Mac Mail it automatically is deleted on the Yahoo server.  Why and how can I stop this happening and leave it on the server?

I believe that that is how IMAP accounts are designed to work, if you delete an email from a computer or device then it will be deleted from the server. If possible you could try setting up the account as a POP account in the Mail program and you should then get a 'remove copy from server' tickbox (which will need to be unticked) on the account's Advanced tab in Mail > Preferences.
I've asked for this post to be moved to the Mountain Lion forum, this is the iPad forum.
