IMAP stealing mails from POP3 server (Squirrelmail)

Hi,
I'm running a FreeBSD 4.7 STABLE server with qpopper 4.0.4, Squirrelmail 
1.2.11 and imap-uw-2002_1 together with other things such as Apache and 
Proftpd. For outgoing mail I'm using Sendmail and normal FreeBSD mail (not 
maildir).

I'm mainly using POP3 for fetching my emails, but when I'm out travelling 
I'd like to be using Squirrelmail. Therefore I installed IMAP-UW and 
Squirrelmail a while back. Everything works perfect except for one thing:

When I'm logged into Squirrelmail and a new mail arrives. Squirrelmail 
shows it and I can do what I want with it. However, when I try to download 
it later with my POP3 account it's not there... but it's in Squirrelmail! 
My guess is that IMAP steals it from my POP3 server. The first server to 
open an email gets it. Is this correct?

How can I use both Squirrelmail with IMAP (which it requires) and a POP3 
server together and can this be fixed with my configuration?

Thanks!
Andreas
