If you are downloading from this account using the POP3 protocol, this is
normal behaviour. There might be a way to change this in the options for
your email account, on its website settings page, if there is one.

If the email account can be accessed through the IMAP protocol instead, you
may want to use that instead, as it offers more advanced features, at the
sacrifice of speed.
