If you leave mail on the server then you should have no problem with
using this option. It's just that if you enable deletion of mail from
the server after download in the account properties, the messages that
exceed your size limit will also be deleted from the server.
Personally, I delete messages from the server using my filters and use a
message size limit. The option to delete from the server is in the
filter actions section. The messages to which the filters are applied
are deleted during the next mail check. This works very well for me
since all my messages are filtered via my spam filter system. With this
method, the only messages that remain on the server and aren't
downloaded automatically, are messages that exceed the size limit. I can
then use the message dispatcher to inspect and download/delete as I
desire. Advantages of this method are that if you have a limited mailbox
size, it keeps your mailbox level down, and it avoids clutter by
preventing having to search through a lot of mail to find those with
large attachments (mind you, the sort by message size option in the
dispatcher eases the pain of the latter).
