User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

This is a problem that I found difficult to explain in one brief sentence.  The problem occurs only when a certain three POP account settings are set.  The end result is that messages that should be deleted from the server are not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure POP account as follows.  Set a Disk space limit to a value of n KB, say n=10.  Also check "Leave messages on server" and "Until I delete or move them from Inbox."
2. Send yourself a message of size n+1 KB or greater.
3. Check your POP account.  You should find that the message you sent has been truncated as it should be.
4. Delete the message.
5. Go to the Trash folder, open the message, and choose to download the entire message.
6. Check your POP account again.
7. At this point to see the error you must either use another mail client or create another TB profile to check this POP account.
Actual Results:  
The message that you deleted is still on the mail server.

Expected Results:  
The message should have been deleted from the server due to "Leave messages on server" "Until I delete or move them from Inbox."
