OL Not Removing Messages from Server

[The Merg]

I posted this issue about a week ago, but got no responses, so I figured I'd
give it another try...

I am using OL2007 to connect to a POP server to download my e-mail. I have
the setting for the e-mail account to "Leave a copy of messages on the
server" checked. I also checked "Remove from server after xx days" and
"Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Items'.

Outlook is leaving the messages on the server as requested, but it is not
deleting them as requested. Is there something else I need to do for this to
work?

Thanks,
Merg

It should work- there is no other settings. Do you share the pst with
another profile? That can mess things up.

Nope. I only have one profile. My POP server is hosted by GoDaddy.com. Has
anyone else here had any success with this setting when used with a GoDaddy
account?
