Pine doesn't download the messages, and has nothing to do with deleting
the messages on the pop server.  Pine just reads the mail delivered to it. 
It is the fetchmail program that you need to look at.  There are serveral
options that can be set in your .fetchmailrc file that determines how
fetchmail handles the mail on the remote pop machine.
