As has already been explained to you, these POP3 settings are CLIENT 
SPECIFIC. There is nothing that you can set on the SERVER to enforce it. 
You can have one client set to leave them on the server for as long as 
you want, and the second you set up your account as POP on another 
device and it connects, bam, all your messages are gone (unless you 
ALWAYS remember to change the setting BEFORE you ever connect to the 
account).

Again - just switch to IMAP and be done with it.
