Using the Mozilla Suite to check my e-mail on the server, all messages were
downloaded to local machine.  When I used a machine from another location
(afternoon) to access my e-mail, all message were missing from the server.  The
default setting on machine1 was: (unchecked) Leave mail on server.  If that box
would have been checked as default, I could have accessed all my morning mail
from the afternoon machine2.  Can you change the default option for "Leave Mail
on Server" to "ON"?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Access mail on server from machine1 (morning location)
2.Access mail on server from machine2 (afternoon location)
3.

Actual Results:  
No mail on server when using machine2 to access mail.

Expected Results:  
I expected the mail to be left on the server so I could access e-mail sent at
any time (not limited to location or time).  I delete mail from server after I
am sure I have a copy on all the machines I use: home, morning, and afternoon.

confirming with precise option as "leave messages", not "leave mail".

changing to suite UI issue, this is not core.
