That's correct; kill filters delete the messages on the server before
downloading. (But the headers have to be downloaded to check wehtehr
signal strings are met).
This has advantages, such as killing large messages and thus saving
download time; for me, I check email from different computers. The
first-checking computer has the kill filters (and also "leave messages
on server".) As there can be a long time until I finally download the
mail on my home machine (when I am travelling for example), kill
filters will delete enough spam to make my 1MB space on that
particular server sufficient.
