+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1108268 +++

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20141204224936

Steps to reproduce:

changed pop3 prefs

Actual results:

Actvated "Leave on server" and then "UNtil I delete them"

Expected results:

the choice above is over rules now, or ?

I think this description in the settings is misleading users. I myself made a mistake once by unchecking this service because I didn't want to download emails, so I did the opposite of what I intended.

It's unclear to me what you did. But I have to read it a few times even though I know what intends, so it does seem to me that the wording could be improved. However, this is one of those features which I wish we didn't have - it makes support difficult.

What do you think the wording should be to improve this?
