For a stand allone user and for security reasons I do not delete mails from the
pop server while downloading them. The settings in "Mail & Newsgroup Account
Settings" --> "Server Settings" are therefor: "Leave messages on server" and
"Delete messages on server when they are deleted or moved from inbox".

Unfortunately, this does not work with filters. When usind filters to move mails
from Inbox or delete from Inbox, the mails are not deleted from the pop server.
This leads to the point that the pop server does not accept mails any more
because it is full. 

For "normal" users, who do not have any additional programs or posibilities to
check the pop server, they do not even recognize, what is going on. They just
don't get any mail any more (probably depending on the provider).

JUNK contrtol works correctly. Junk control does delete messages on the pop server. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Delete mails from pop, when moved or deleted from inbox.
I have the same problem ant it is really annoying -- I must sometimes access my
mailbox via www broser or cell phone to really delete messages.
