Default How To delete mail on the host/server in outlook 2007?

There is no such option under tools, account in Outlook 2007 (I think there
use to be in Outlook 2000 to remove email from the server when it was
downloaded. I am having the same problem. So I logged into msn.com,
hotmail, and there are message that have been there for months. So, Again,
how do I setup OUTLOOK 2007 to remove email from the msn server once it has
been downloaded???

I just experienced a situation where today I clicked the "send/receive"
button and
there was 65,000 email trying to download into my Outlook 2007 inbox.

I have Cox Cable and apparently when I reached about 1/2 GB of email of my
2GB
capacity, something became compromised and I could only download 65,000
email or none at all. It would not allow me to download just the new
email
as it had
done each and every time previously.

And, of course, Cox blamed it all on Outlook. However, I tried to delete
one page
of email at a time and I could not do so because it would hang and then
time
out and an error page would appear.

I was finally able to delete all 65,000 email using Cox's option to delete
an entire folder. However, it timed out several times before all email
were
deleted.

So, MY QUESTION IS THIS: How can I choose to have my email on my Cox
Webmail account deleted when I download email to my Out;look 2007 inbox?

I searched the Help database and I cannot find anything regarding such a
setting.

Thx!
