Mozilla Thunderbird, Mozilla Seamonkey and other email clients
(including webmail interfaces) have a POP3 option that "keep messages on
the server. This mean they are downloaded to the machine where the
client is running, but they are not removed from the server. I have used
this feature to "pretend" that a POP3 access only account behaved less
destructibly and as I needed it doing. My use of it was pretty much the
same for other accounts in the same client - but all other accounts were
IMAP, and did not have this option, of course.

I don't know if this is enough to say that K-9 should have this feature.
But it is possible, somehow, to make it work like that.
