Hmmm. If you use AppleScript to get the value after you have set it, it
gets the value you set. So it is remembering this property somewhere.
It just isn't attaching it to the setting in the UI that it appears to
be referring to.
What appears to be the equivalent setting in Mail's .plist file isn't a
boolean, which may be a clue. It's called DeletionPolicy, and its
values on three accounts on my machine are set to "AfterInterval",
"RightAway", and "Never". Sounds like the AppleScript property may have
become disconnected from the actual preference and never fixed.
You could try manipulating the preference in the .plist file, but this
will be more difficult and won't work properly (if at all) if you do it
while the application is running.

Although 'delete mail on server' is in the 'pop account' section of
Mail.app dictionary and the script compiles and runs with no errors,
the preference is not changed for the account in Mail.
