Default Deleting downloaded emails from server

Forgive the newbie question but...

Can someone tell me where is the flag/option in OE 6 that tells the server
to delete received emails after OE has downloaded them?

I know such a thing does (or did) exist, but I can't find it in OE for the
life of me. Somehow (possibly on changing to new ISP) this feature was turned
off on my system, and I have to go to web-base mail access to delete them
manually, or they perpetually accumulate.

Help! and thanks in advance.

Last tickbox...

I took the OP as a challenge as I remembered I had seen this facility a long
time ago...

I must have overlooked that three times this evening...
