Some users might have a problem with the mails getting deleted after downloading them via POP3 (per default setting). I think it should be possible to set this behaviour directly in the account manager (as the messages are being downloaded right after a new account is set) or at least the user should be alerted about that all messages are getting deleted from the server
Reproducible: Always
Actual Results:
TB downloads all messages from the server and deletes them.
Expected Results:
Ask the user whether to keep the messages on the server (in the New Account dialogue)

Unfortunately, "kind of fixed" is exactly true, as this is not really fixed. We are still deleting messages (with a 14 days delay), and we're not informing the user about it, and we don't allow the user to configure it during assisted (quick) account setup. I'm an advanced user, and I had dataloss on server because of this.
