Pop is an offline protocol, hence watever happens to the mails after
they have been downloaded is not synced back to the server. Hence 
deleting/ moving them locally should not be conveyed back to the server.

Having said that there are a few work around's, Some time ago i
committed a fix to allow all mails older than x days to be deleted
automatically off the server. I think its present in the 2.8 series.

Ofcoure you could just un-tick the option in configuration "Receiving
Options" which reads "Leave messages on server", unticking this would
delete messages as soon as they have been downloaded.

Hope that helps.
