FWIW and FYI, for most (all?) email clients using POP3, there should be a setting to control how long to keep messages on the server (inbox) when deleted from the client's inbox. It will probably be worded something like "leave messages on server for..." or "delete messages on server after...". You must currently have yours set to 3 months.
