What if you don't want to delete all your mail
Authored by: ncharter on Apr 24, '02 04:00:33PM

Although the hint posted is a great idea it doesn't help if you want to keep some mail on the server.

For instance, I like to check my mail at work and at home. Some that I read at work I would like to get it from home.

In order to deleted the mail from the server, you have to set mail to delete every message once they have been downloaded from the server. Effectively the server will only have unread mail.

Another problem is that I like to keep really important mail on the server so that if I have a major problem with either mac and lose my saved messages, I can readily get them back from the server.

It looks like selective deletion of messages from the server is not possible. Seems all or nothing to me.
