Removing emails from server - POP

[betty]

The option to keep emails on the server was previously set.

I just changed Outlook so that it will not keep emails on the server -
ie. delete emails once Outlook retrieves them.

How do I remove all those previous emails? I made the change but the
server is still full of emails. Is there an option in Outlook to
refresh the server?

Outlook has already yanked a copy of those old e-mails. It records
the message-id of each one so it knows which ones have been read and
which ones are new (there is no concept of old and new at the server,
just a list of messages that exist). Use the webmail interface to
your account to remove the old mails.
