Have you tried
 Tools / Settings / Mail Accounts / <account> Edit / Receiving Options
 [x] Leave messages on server

At least that will not delete the messages when received. 

I doubt, but am not sure, if Evolution deletes the mails, though, as I
do not use POP3 except for testing purposes. Anyone else knowing for
sure and feeling the strong urge to step in?

POP3 is not designed for that, and every mailer I used with similar
functions did not delete those messages (Eudora, Netscape).

IMAP is the protocol of choice... ;-)
