If your users can log and read messages can obviously download it.
If you use IMAP you can set ACL and enable read only for the folders:

Thank you,
i looked up http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL section. We use POP3 , i think it's diffucult to evaluate in POP3.
also we are using openLDAP backend, if i change folder permissions , does it work ?

Changing folder permissions to what? I suppose you understand what you mean by changing folder permissions! If you make them read-only (no write) for the users group, as that is what you could be thinking, you'll probably also affect the ability of the MTA to write to them (deliver mail).
Please explain your situation holistically so that we can understand and give suggestions...

Change folder permissions is a bad idea, for example if you use Maildir/ as mailbox format you can't remove +w, messages should be moved from new/ to cur/, add flags to name and so on.
I do not think it's possible to do what you ask.

do you mean to leave a copy of the email on the server so it can be read in multiple email clients? IMAP can do this and i think modern POP3 can. look for an account config option in your mail client to "leave mail on server".
i think there is a setting in dovecot to prevent expunging of email but it has been years since i was researching this.
