POP3 Incoming email configuration

Mac OS-X Mojave.


I have configured my mail.app for POP3 incoming but it still leaves my mail on the server. What setting am I missing?

The default now is for IMAP, so you would need to configure it manually; I don't quite remember, but I believe you have to use the Option key when you first start setting up Mail (choose other account in the window where accounts are being offered and press Option while moving to the next window) in Internet Account at which point it allows you to configure it to POP with whatever settings you need for your ISP. This is from memory - try at your own risk.
