Pop3 email question

[2001400ex]

My firm had an exchange account and the mail program worked perfectly. I switched firms and we are on pop3 now. For some reason, the account doesn't retain the messages when I go into the mail. So it has to refresh and redownload every message every time I get in. I went through every setting and can't find anything that would make it do that.

Is this normal with pop3? Or what am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure, but it sounds like it's an intentional workaround for the "download and delete" functionality of POP3.
