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

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.
