Is outlook express able to not delete email at the pop server for a select
number of days? In other words, can I leave mail on the server for a
specified number of days and then delete after the number of days pass?
 
Yes, depending on your ISP's rules.

OE | Tools | Accounts | Mail | Your account | Properties | Advanced tab

You have the choice of: Leave a copy of messages on server. If that box is
selected, you get two more options. Remove from server after xxx day(s) and
Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Items'

OE | Tools | Accounts | Mail | Your account | Properties | Advanced tab

Leave a copy of messages on server
[[Specifies whether to store a copy of all received messages on your server.
If your Internet service provider (ISP) does not allow you to save messages
on the server, a dialog box will appear informing you of that.

If you clear this check box, incoming messages are deleted from your server
after you download them onto your computer. Outgoing messages are not saved
on your server, but they are saved on your computer if you have specified
that setting in your e-mail program. ]]

Remove from server after xxx day(s)
[[Specifies whether to delete e-mail messages left on the server after the
number of days indicated.

Some Internet service providers (ISPs) limit the number of messages you can
store on the server, or do not allow you to save messages on the server. If
you clear this check box, your server might automatically remove messages
after a certain period of time or when you exceed the limit.]]

Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Items'
[[Specifies to delete a message from the server when you delete the message
from the Deleted Items folder on your computer. Some Internet service
providers (ISPs) limit the number of messages you can store on the server,
or do not allow you to save messages on the server.]]
