Is it a planned feature ??

If there's no way to do it, how can it be a planned feature? :)

POP was never really designed for leaving mail on the server at all, let
alone keeping an index of all messages, and then comparing how long
they've been in the cache or the timestamp in the header to determine if
they should be deleted.  Yes other mailers have pulled off this hack,
but it's really just better to use IMAP if users plan to leave the mail
on the server at all.

I store almost all mail I receive as an extra form of documentation.
This is now growing and growing, so much mail can't I just leave on the
server, it's too much.
I think imap is no option then. I'll have to delete my mailfile by hand
then.

Thank you for the answers ...
