Technically yes, but it's a common default for POP to delete mail from server
after fetching, while it's common default for IMAP to keep mail on the
server (otherwise local and server mailbox wouldn't be in sync, which will
cause trouble for a typical mail client), therefore POP seems better suited
to that kind of operation than IMAP.
