Leave a copy of messages on the server UNLESS bigger than X ?

[Julius T.]

I want to keep messages on my pop3 server for 30 days, but if I get an email
with a big attachment larger than X bytes I want only that one downloaded to
outlook and deleted immediately off the server so I don't fill up my quota.
How can I acheive this?

After downloading the e-mail with the big message, save it, and then delete
the e-mail which will delete it from the mail server.

But I'm out of town for 30 days. Needs to be automatic deletion on the server
so my quota doesn't fill up, and I can't delete the local copy in my inbox
since I might not have seen it yet.

does the account have webmail access? use the settings there

From your description and the wish to download only the
"big" message you may as well download the lot to outlook as
it would need to be running anyway (wouldn't it?)
