Junk mail (spam) is deleted from POP3-server, because button 'leave mail on
server until I delete them or move them from inbox' is checked. This is
partially no surprise, but very bad if the junk filters automatically move real
messages to the 'junk' folder because of errornous judgement, false positives.

An implementation with a button 'leave mail on pop3-server until I delete them
from any folder' would work

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get access to a pop3-server, and check buttons 'leave messages on server' and
'until I delete or move them from inbox'
2. Get access to a pop3-server, and send some junk mail to yourself

Actual Results:  
Notice how the junk mail is deleted from the pop3-server. This can be a problem
if you expect to sort your junk mail from a second computer (work/home)

Expected Results:  
Keep mail on pop3-server until deleted from any folder, not just when moving
from inbox
