This one is an unusual question... I'm trying to work out if it is possible to
set a filter to delete mail from the server, if the time stamp is before a
certain time.  I keep two sets of my mail, one at work, and one at home.  At
work, I'm running TB! 1.60c, and at home Slypheed-Claws, with Fetchmail to
pickup my mail (I know sylpheed supports pop3 connections, but I have a lot of
filters already setup in procmail).  The setup runs as follows:

At 7am in the morning, Fetchmail at home shuts down if the day is Monday to
Friday.  When I get into work, about 0800-0845 in, I load TB! which is set to
leave most mails (except identified spam, and certain mails) on the server. 
Work day goes by as usual.  When I leave work at 1730, fetchmail at home
automatically kicks in, and downloads all the mail off the server, erasing it
from the server, then about 1745, a second fetchmail script kicks in after the
first, and checks periodically for updates, and downloads, leaving a copy on the
server, so I can (in the morning of the following day) retrieve those mails.

The problem occurs is when you set fetchmail to download mail, and delete from
servers, it just does it, and I end up with duplicates on my home PC (something
which I found TB! to be very good at handling).  What I want TB! to do is when I
check my mail, if the time stamp is before 0700 of that day (including
everything on previous days), is to delete the mail from server when downloaded.

Is this possible?  Or do I have to live with killing duplicates?
