No, I am saying that OP is looking for an alternative client, which also doesn’t upload their emails. For example, mailspring would be a bad recommendation because, as far as I know, it uploads your email to their server

No one said that Thunderbird keeps copies of your email. But there are apps that do that and the OP does not want one of them.
