It really depends on how the pop server is configured. Some delete
emails, some don't. Some let you choose. gmail, is one that lets you
choose to "delete"* downloaded emails, if your client tells it to.
*"Delete in Google terms means they disappear from your on line inbox,
but like the FBI, Google has infinite storage space, so they have an
archive backup that's not available to the user, just in case... That's
just company policy, they are after all in the information business.

Eric, I have a POP connection and use Thunderbird. All my emails are
saved both on my computer and on the server... I don't know about
phones and laptops and such. I used to have it set to downlaod and
delete, but after having a crash a couple of years ago I switched back
to leaving stuff on the server too..
MAybe it depends on who your IP is.

Do you know what kind of email account you have, i.e., POP or IMAP?
If POP, after messages are downloaded to a device they are deleted
from the server, and this are not available to other devices. IMAP
synchronizes mailboxes between devices.
