Thank You Sir,

   I knew it would be simple.

I just needed some guidance in getting to the right page.

I checked out the help menu there & got more insight.

I'm good for now;  but, as I start playing with the filtering (including server side)

I'll probably need some more help then.

Until later!

I'm using Pmail 4.52 as a stand alone client for my POP3 email.

With other email clients I've always been able to configure them to leave X number of days of mail on the server.  This is so IF I'm away from my computer but need to use email, I can use any computer with a web browser to access the webmail client and I'll at least be able to see messages from the last several of days.

Thunderbird and even outlook express have this ability, but I sure can not seem to find it in Pmail anywhere.  

I know I can tell Pmail to not download the mail, but then I would have to manually remember to login to the webmail client every so often to manually delete old mail so my web mailbox doesn't fill up.

Does anyone know of a way to have Pmail download all mail every time it does a send/receive but leave a copy of all mail that is less than 4 days old (for example) and delete all mail older than 4 days from the server? Thus keeping the mailbox on the server trimmed automatically.

Check out the Create/Edit POP3 rules filter. You can do all kinds of things within date ranges or by age etc etc.  See menu Tools/Mail Filtering Rules/ Create/Edit POP3 Rule set

O.K.,

    But, then what?

I follow your trail/get to an empty box & I have no idea how to create the filter to leave the email on the server.

p.s.   Can I put some of the recent email back on the server?

Thanks

There's no such filter: You just set your POP3 configuration (Tools => Internet options => Receiving, then on the General page of the active configuration) to not delete emails after downloading (= disable Delete Mail on server once it has been suceesfully received), then create a filter rule for deleting them by age ...
