I am using VSNL (nde). I have faced no such problems. The deletion perhaps, depends upon how the mait retrival software has been configured. Under fetchmail, depending upon your local configuration deletion may be after downloading of each individual mail. Perhaps somebody more competent on the VSNL set up may throw some light on this issue.
