Optional :

Delevery we have checked "Leave a copy of messages on the server" and "Remove from server after - 10 - days"

This will do two things , allow you to collect your mail from multiple computers for up to 10 , or whatever you choose days.

It will then delete mail from the server , this will keep your mailbox from filling up
