Two possible issues to resolve here. 1. On the Gmail site, pop has to be enabled. Go into your account settings on the website and be sure that it is.
2. Do you have any other device that is downloading your email from that account? If so, it may be set not to leave copies on the server. You could either not have the email client running on it, or double-check that it is set to leave copies of messages on the server.
