When I doubleclick on that I have two tabs, Account settings and Options, side by side. Under Options I did have "leave messages on server" ticked though I do not remember setting it, certainly not since 24/7, when this started to happen. I unchecked it. I ticked "allow online access". I suppose I have to go online again for thi to take effect and then untick it for general use.
