First of all your are using an IMAP code to fetch the mails so I assume your pop3 servers have imap service also running. And if you are using IMAP service then there is no need of explicitly doing a leave a copy of the mail in the server. the mails will remain on the server unless they are deleted or moved from folder to transh/junk.

The same holds good for POP service also. the mails will always remain on server unless you send a delete command.
