No, it doesn't IF your server is shentel.net. When I called to complain, they explained that many people use pop3, but expected the message to still be there when accessed by imap. So I am forced to login to their webmail server, and delete old mail that way. Which I am now doing nominally daily. I am all automated pop3 here. But I will say their spam trapping is much better than the average. So much so that I have discontinued using mailfilter.
