You can enable POP access for an email application like the standalone Outlook client, and it’s not a firm requirement to delete emails from the server. If you don’t connect with a client app that is configured to transfer all emails off the server, the webmail interface should work fine.
Right… But I’m unaware of any pop providers that also offer a webmail interact. Hell I haven’t seen anyone use pop since the early 00s. The isps that did offer it required you to use a proper mail client. And if the workaround for outlook is ‘use webmail’ that doesn’t exist…
They tell people who use POP to use webmail as a workaround. Whoever made that suggestion doesn’t know wtf POP email accounts are or do.
There is no way that one can use web-based email clients and use POP. It is literally incompatible.

I have used this kind of setup multiple times.

You can tell POP to leave a copy on the server, pretty much any client has that as a checkbox right there when you set it up.
