You may be correct Valerio. Because I was looking at the Settings for Fetching email I interpreted the setting that way. Re-Reading it now, I have to agree that the description seems to describe your interpretation more than mine. So, I did not locate the appropriate setting to delete (or preserve) a server copy of email that is downloaded by POP3. Thanks for pointing out the more appropriate description of the option I referred to.
For those like me who worry about preserving server copies of email, I can confirm by experience that by default the standard settings for a POP3 client seem to have preserved all my emails when downloading.
