this will leave emails on server for you to periodically log into your
account and delete old emails.

this may be cause by a corrupted Inbox.
there are many causes. one that is debated as to it causing problems
is if you have subfolders under account's Inbox.
another cause is to move or delete emails and not compress Inbox
periodically.
a sure way not to corrupt Inbox is to _filter_all_incoming_email_ to
subfolders under account or Local Folders.
create a new sub folders under "account name" or "Local Folders".
drag and drop sub folders from under "Inbox" to under new subfolder,
or Local Folders, so that you have;
example:
account name
or
Local Folders
+--Inbox
+--Drafts
+--Templates
+--Sent
+--Trash
|
+--Family <- top folder - do NOT filter or move messages to here
| +--Uncle Bob
| +--Aunt Mary
| +--Mom and dad
| +--Grandpa
|
+--friends <- top folder - do NOT filter or move messages to here
| +--bill
| +--bob
| +--jane
|
+--unclassified-emails <- name this what ever you wish
| +--001 <- name these what ever you wish
| +--002
| +--003
|
+--sorted-email <- top folder - do NOT filter or move messages to here
+--Business email
+--Family account
+--Alternate account
after you have new tree set up, create filters to move emails to proper
subfolders.
any new emails that come in that you do not have filter for, drag and
drop them to 'unclassified-emails' subfolders.
i have used account Inbox filtering from as far back as 1st days of
netscape and i have yet to loose any emails.
if you create filters all you family, friends, subscribed lists, any
email that shows in Inbox will be new desired or spam.
if new desired, create a filter and a subfolder for it.
if spam, highlight and click 'Spam' icon to mark as such. after a few
such markings, spam filtering will automatically pick it up and move
to Spam folder.
granted, all of this takes time and effort on your part. but once it is
done, you will have very little to worry about as to loosing emails and
spam.
