That would depend upon the mail client you are using on your PC. I
used to use Pegasus Mail on an old Win 2000 box way back when I used
POP mail. I could elect whether to delete from the server or not. I
have used similar with Linux. I'm sure Kmail has this ability. Yes,
it was definitely POP mail not IMAP :-)
