I have learned that you have to do this for each account. I don't
have folders I must confess, but I imagine something there is true.
Under mailbox behaviours, there are also settings for handling mail
that has already been downloaded. It is not clear from the message
below whether the mail has been downloaded or still lives on the
server. I have noticed that no matter what mail prrogram I use, some
mail sticks around on some servers using pop. My theory on this is
due to small periodic interruptions in communications with the
server. Once in a while, I make a new mail setup and this generally
downloads all the mail that was not previously downloaded. It's
often just one or two messages that are a couple of months old.

Hello Scott,
I use pop3 to pull all my mail down and it should be set to be
deleted from the server or at least that is how I have it set. So,
next thing I look and I got over a hundred messages in the Mac
Visionaries folder all from October and November time frame. Now
anyone have any ideas why this might happen?
Go to Mail Preferences, select Account, then click on the Advanced tab.
Check that the popup menu beside the Remove Copy from Server checkbox
is set to 1 day or 1 week.
Then if you want to get rid of anything older than that length of
time, click on the Remove Now button. Quit Mail Preferences, and it
might be a good idea to do a Restart to make sure any changes stick.
If it reverts to its previous state, zap its plist.
