Gene, what distro is your Dovecot on? Normally I consider it
well-behaved. Can you confirm that your session completes through the
"QUIT" command and does not abort prematurely? Because on well-behaved
POP3 servers, DELE are only deletion requests that are queued up and
kept pending unapplied until the client sends a "QUIT" command, when the
DELE will actually be committed.

Also, does your mail store have proper permissions for Dovecot to
actually write, if you are sharing it with Webmail?
