Eudora OSE still has the FILE-OFFLINE menu..
another way you could do that is to create a Local_Folder, and a filter 
to COPY all emails to the local folder. Then when you want to DELETE the 
ones on the server, you just DELETE the emails from the IMAP folder, and 
you still will have them in the local folder..
