I found that reply interesting. If you're using POP, then the email doesn't exist on the server and it doesn't matter what your email service allows or enables in any of their webmail clients. As the default behavior of POP is to download email from the server and then delete it on the server, keeping only a local copy. If you're setting it to not delete, I can't think of a reason you'd choose POP over IMAP. It would seem to be the inferior protocol all around for any other use case.
