Q: iPhone 6S pop e-mails gone

I setup my iPhone 6S with a pop account as I wanted it to download the e-mails to the phone and not leave them on the server.

 

Apparently this is not the case and the iPhone will leave the messages on the server. If I delete an e-mail on my iphone it would re-download it again at a later date.

 

So I deleted all e-mails from the server apart from the last 2 weeks worth. Deleted the account and reset it up as POP again. After all e-mails were downloaded I decided to clear all e-mails from the server.

 

 

This morning I only have 3 e-mails on my phone. (The ones I got after clearing my server account)

 

 

Any reason why a POP account would interact with the server like IMAP and delete e-mails on the local device that were not on the server anymore?????

 

 

Cheers.

 

John.
