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.
