newbie.gif alert

I have internal email server acting as smpt/pop relay.
inside and outside domains are both domain.com

One of the users must have the ability to re-download all emails from her home PC.
Right now, after being downloaded by pop3links, the messages from the host are gone. Is it possible to tell pop3links to leave a copy on the host's server so when user comes home, can download her messages again?
Thanks all!

Edit - unless I am wrong on the answer below...
Argh, sorry, should have searched deeper, the default is 30 days or newer.
Answer is
QUOTE
You cannot use pop3links for that. Use fetchmail with option --keep instead: http://fetchmail.berlios.de/fetchmail-man.html

Scheduled message purging is not part of the POP3 specification and requires some custom programming, which imitates the behavior of a mail client.
