No, it doesn't IF your server is shentel.net.  When I called to complain, 
they explained that many people use pop3, but expected the message to 
still be there when accessed by imap. So I am forced to login to their 
webmail server, and delete old mail that way. Which I am now doing 
nominally daily.

I am all automated pop3 here. But I will say their spam trapping is much 
better than the average. So much so that I have discontinued using 
mailfilter.
