Randall,

Now the filter does not delete mail from the server at all.  I have set the 
accounts I want this pop filter to work with to leave the messages on the 
server.  In settings --> Configure Pop Filters, I have set a rule as follows:
    Match any of the following
    <Age in days> is equal to 1
    Recipients contains myemail@xxxxxxxx
    Delete mail from server

I also tried this with just the <age in days> setting.  Any ideas from here?
