Yes, provided you configure your e-mail client to tell the server to do
just that upon completion of the downloading of your mail. With POP3,
the majority of us do in fact configure our clients to instruct the
server to delete our messages as soon as we have competed the
downloading of the messages.

No, IMAP and HTTP email are designed to stay on the server. The
advantage being is that you can work with your mail from more than one
computer. You have to manually delete (purge) your messages off the
server when using IMAP.
