You can set your gmail account to use IMAP, and you might have the option on that pop account of forwarding to your gmail account.
Yes, I was just going to suggest that if the user really wants a POP style solution, his best bet is to setup two email accounts and have the original email account forward a copy of each message to the "dummy-POP3" account; that way, the user can view and delete the emails on his device, but still have the original emails intact on the original email address. On the other hand, you could always just use the "mark as unread" button and use a regular, single email setup...
