As a workaround, you can set "Days" to 0 to avoid messages being
automatically deleted.

Title:
  POP "Leave messages on server" now requires "Days"

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “evolution” source package in Oneiric:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
