Public bug reported:

Evolution 3.x has changed in the POP Receiving Options to have the
"Leave Messages On Server" selection linked to the "Days" value. In
Evolution 2.x (and probably previous versions) these options were
separate.

This is very confusing for users who want *all* their POP messages left
on the server with no day filtering, and seems non-standard when
compared to previous Evolution versions and just about every other POP
client that I have encountered.

If the "Leave messages on server" option is selected, then the "Days"
option should also be required to enabled, not left permanently enabled
as if the current situation.
