I'm not really very savvy in this sort of thing, but I have gmail configured to collect mail from a cPanel webmail address.

The option to leave a copy on the original server was something that was configured on the gmail side, not the cPanel side.

Not sure if this is similar to your problem, but maybe it will help.

- GoogleMail makes (in my brief opinion) an excellent mail client when using the
web browser in 3rd-generation Kindle readers -- use the URL m.gmail.com
for their mobile interface design.
