Sorry, I don't know about this, I never use pop3.

*Warning*: `pop3-leave-mail-on-server' has been introduced in the
version of Gnus (5.9) that is bundled with Emacs 21.3 (dunno about
21.[1-2]).  It is not present in Gnus 5.10.[1-6].  So be careful not
to lose mail!

Most probably `pop3-leave-mail-on-server' will be available in Gnus
5.11 [1].  In order to avoid confusion, this option should also be put
into the next versions of the unbundled Gnus versions (No Gnus and
possibly a future 5.10.7).

Bye, Reiner.

[1] Gnus 5.11 is the version of Gnus that will be bundled with the
    next release of Emacs (21.4).  No, I don't when this will happen.

P.S.: Most of your message arrived multiple times.  Please try to
      avoid this and also avoid sending the same question to the gnus
      list (ding@gnus.org) _and_ to the newsgroup gnu.emacs.gnus.
