No it isnt. You must send a pop server an express DELE command

My limited experience of IMAP suggests that only when you delete mail on 
the client, does it delete it on the server.

Just downloading it is not enough, and if you delete it on the client, 
then its gone , so if you want to keep mail on the client but not on the 
server you can't do it.
