You sure your Blackberry is set to "leave messages on server" via POP3?

Sounds like they're getting copied down to the BB and deleted from the server.

Do you still see them in your mbox or maildir directory after the BB
gets them if you look by hand?

I've been picking on an engineer and friend at RIM for years about
proper IMAP support... they supposedly did add some form of it
recently, sometime within the last year or so?  It sounded hoakey, but
workable.
