I do not use server-side filtering. I frequently travel to different
countries and it has not been an issue.

As far as where to delete mail, here is how I manage this using POP:

  1. My Desktop is the primary mail manager and is set to delete
  messages after 7 days and to delete messages when they are removed
  from the Trash folder.

  2. My Notebook is set to delete messages when removed from Trash.

  3. I delete unwanted messages through the web interface whenever it
  is accessed and I'm in the mood.

  4. Before leaving with my notebook I copy the primary message folder
  with all of the subfolders to the notebook and close The Bat! on the
  desktop machine.

  5. Upon returning from a trip, I restart The Bat! on the Desktop and
  copy the sent messages from the notebook and download the remaining
  messages from the server.

This method using POP has worked well for years.
