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.

POP3 clients connect, retrieve all messages, store them on the client computer, and finally delete them from the server.

There is no way that one can use web-based email clients and use POP. It is literally incompatible.

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.

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.

I have used this kind of setup multiple times.

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...
