OK.  I understand that process.  But if my fetches every email, then
tells the server to delete them, how is it that it fetches them again?

well inherent, yes it is. On POP3 what your mail client basically does
is

- it (maybe) fetches a list of messages from the server
- it fetches every message on the server
- and subsequently tells the server to delete it (unless you tell it 
otherwise)

so you see your problem really might be inherent to the protocol. Try to

get a dump of the actual communication and see whether the file on the 
server gets deleted or not.
