Hi, It sounds to me that you have your settings set correctly. I don't use PopMail anymore so can't check it myself on my iPhone but according to Apple's support article at
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3228?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US it looks like you've done it right. Sometimes, things don't delete as quick as they should from servers, especially from iOS connections. Sometimes, iOS access is routed a little different than from a Desktop unit so things don't happen as promptly as they should. That's the best explanation I can come up with for now. If you continue to have problems, post again and I'll dig deeper. Later...
