Me too - I thought this would be easy, but it isn't. I eventually cracked it thus: (i) in Account | Properties ..., select the Mail Management option from the list on the left and change Message Management to 'Leave messages on server'. (ii) in Account | Sorting Office/Filters, set up a new filter with the following options changed from the default: Rule tab, Filtering string = @, Location = Anywhere, Presence = Yes [in other words, filter all messages as an email message will always contain "@" somewhere] Actions tab, 'Delete the message from the server' ticked Advanced tab, 'Message has no attachments' ticked (iii) move this new filter to the top of the list of filters. [to ensure that it is executed before any other filters] Thereafter all messages will be deleted from the server if they don't have attachments, but will remain on the server if they do. The difficult bit is the combination of changing the account properties and writing a filter; it appears you can't do what you want to do with a filter on its own.
