Not quite.
The way  a  POP3 session is supposed to work is that  the server MUST NOT 
delete a message unless. 
1. It receives a DELE command on that message and 
2. It receives a QUIT instruction at the end of the POP3 session.

However RFC 1939 specifically makes allowance for site policies such as  
"messages may only be  downloaded once from the server, and are deleted 
after this has been accomplished."   There is no provision in the RFC for 
this sort of thing to be a user switched option.  

In this case, they still should note be deleted unless the session is 
properly terminated with a QUIT command, so if you could set up your mail 
client not to issue s QUIT or you always broke the connection before the 
session was complete, you could theoretically get around the site policy
