Downloaded Messages NOT removed from Server if Send/Receive

In both Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express, if you cancel a Send/Receive, any
message that was successfully transferred to Outlook during this Send/Receive
session prior to you canceling the Send/Receive, is immediately removed from
the POP mail server. This is exactly what I'd expect (and what I need).

However, in Outlook 2007, if you cancel a Send/Receive, NONE of the messages
you have downloaded will be removed from the POP server until the NEXT time
you connect!

So for example, if your mailbox has 100 messages in it and you download 99
of them and then click "Cancel Send/Receive", Outlook 2007 DOES NOT remove
the 99 emails you successfully received from the POP server!! It waits until
the next time you connect, then deletes them.

Why does Outlook 2007 not immediately deleted those messages that have
already been delivered when you cancel the Send/Receive as Outlook 2000 and
Outlook Express does? Is there anyway to tell Outlook 2007 to immediately
delete any successfully downloaded message, even if I've clicked cancel?

Outlook 2007 apparently performs the POP operations in a different order
that does OE. OE must intersperse the downloading and deleting of messages,
whereas Outlook downloads all, then deletes. If you interrupt the
downloading, the deletion doesn't occur.

Nope. You can't alter the order in which Outlook executes the POP commands.
