AFAIK, the 'delete received messages from server' option in the account
properties is indiscriminate in that it will delete even those messages
for which only the headers have been downloaded.

In fact, I just ran a check and this is still the case!!

Be careful with this option!!! If you wish to be able to download large
attachments via the dispatcher while restricting the initial download of
large attachments, *do not* enable 'delete received messages from
server'. You will lose all your large attachments.
