'Delete mail from server' is enabled by default because it's the better 
alternative. Normally a user just wants to download his mail once and 
only wants to read it on one machine. People who want to access their 
mail from different locations should either look for such an option 
(you'll see it if you create a new account but obviously you didn't 
notice it) or even better should use IMAP instead of POP3.
