Well, yes...

I'll elaborate a little more:

I specify in the POP3 account Advanced settings to keep my last 10 days of
email on the server. This way I can easily use my cell phone or a web
browser to check in from any location for a recent "important" message, and
to ensure the messages aren't immediately removed if I am away from the
computer while Outlook Express is still up. I don't want to change this
behavior.

This mailing list, however, is taking up an undue amount of space, and they
are almost never "important" so I want the messages zapped immediately after
I download and file them.

I would think that "Delete it from server" would have the effect of doing
so.
