Default Leave messages on server (pop3)

My family has a family email account on the pop3 server of my ISP.
Family members wish to access the inbox and receive all emails at
differnt time and location. Is it possible to setup OE6 such that all
messages are left on the pop3 server after downloading to one's PC?

Thank you

Sure. Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced. Check: Leave a copy
of messages on the server. Do this on *all* the machines. On *one* machine,
also check to delete the messages after X days. Choose the least number of
days that is feasible. Not checking this box at all will leave everything on
the server, eventually choking your servers allotted space and rejecting new
messages.
