Since you do not want to leave a copy on the server that would be the first one to uncheck.

What's the solution if using IMAP?
IMAP is server based. You just remotely view the messages on the server so this option is not available with IMAP. You can create folders under Local Folders and move messages from the server to these folders to keep local copies.
