I have several emails that I get regularly from companies that I want to file
in Outlook folders on my home PC. I don't want to have them stay on the pop
server after they've been copied to the Outlook folder. (I leave my outlook
up all the time at home.) I've set up rules on these messages but I still end
up having to delete them through my web mail browser because they don't
delete.

How can I setup a rule that will only delete these messages from the server
while leaving the messages I don't have rules setup up for on the server
until I manually delete them?

Thanks!

You don't.
Why specifically are you leaving messages on the server?

Because some emails (itinerary info, temporary contact information,
directions, tech support conversations) I want to have access to while at
work or out of town and if they are left on the server then I can accesses
through any web browser at my ISP webmail site.

The clutter (receipts, newsletters, certain types of ads) is what I want on
my home PC but I don't want to have to wade through it when using webmail
elsewhere.

So if I could download it, sort it into folders and then remove the server
copy, only the "important" emails will stay on the server. Right now, I
spend an hour a week cleaning things up on the webmail page just to get it
back down to the emails I think I might need access to anywhere.

For this type of anywhere access you might consider using an IMAP account
where the message store is saved on the server.
