Although it says "fixed", so I'm confused...

Namely, I checked my email on N900 today (with its default mail client), and after I got home I didn't get those same messages on my computer. I use POP3 on N900, and "leave messages on server" is checked on all accounts.
It used to work fine a few days or weeks ago, but back then I deleted messages from N900's Inbox only after retrieving them on the computer (whereas today I deleted them right away - so it sounds like POP3 acting IMAPish in this regard ).

So I suppose I should be more careful with this?
I have the same problem,
There was a bug on PR maemo but was fixed with the latest PR 1.3, now the bug is back with CSSU stable and testing.
I suggest not to delete the emails from your N900 before you download them on your pc, you can view but if you delete them from your device then will be deleted from the pop server too.

We have to report the bug. (I already made a comment on CSSU stable & testing about above a wile ago, never filed the bug, my bad)

Edit: If you have a hotmail, hotmail live, yahoo, gmail you are safe there as they have setup a security feature for mobile devices just in case you delete the emails accidentally your emails will be under "deleted folder -pop mail" but if your emails are from your pop 3 internet provider well... then you will lose them.
