I can't seem to have messages deleted from server after they land in my in box. There used to be a check box in Server Settings to "Leave messages on server".

My other 2 accts in THB have the check box to delete message from server. they are setup as POP Mail Server. The new account is IMAP if that has any bering.

It has. With IMAP all mail is managed on the server. You'd need to move messages off of the server to your 'Local Folders' account if this is what you want to do.
