Probably you have not selected "Leave messages on server" for the account in question.
KMail -> Settings -> Configure KMail Accounts -> Receiving (tab) -> [ select account ] -> click Modify -> select "Leave fetched messages on the server"
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@addr.ess Delete mail from server
I also tried this with just the <age in days> setting. Any ideas from here?
I would go for age-in-days greater than 1, rather than exactly one. I don't know how KMail actually interprets the criteria "... days ... equal to 1." Taken sufficiently literally, it could be very difficult to ever match this criteria (does it have to be exactly 24 * 60 * 60 seconds since download, e.g.?). Also note that many messages' recipient lists do not include the actual recipient ("myemail@addr.ess"). E.g., mail sent to (via) mailing lists such as this one do not mention the individual recipient(s) in their headers (to do so would require sending a separate message out to each subscriber so that the recipient list we see does not include the totality of the subscriber list). As it stands (ignoring the perhaps too-restrictive time criteria), your rule will never delete any list mail.
