Keep in mind that almost all email providers place some limit on the volume of email that you are allowed to keep on the server. With none of your email clients deleting email you will eventually fill your allotted space on the server and will no longer receive any email.

I recommend that you set your main computer's Outlook to delete files on server when deleted locally, an option in Outlook that I believe is also in Outlook Express. Set correctly, this will continue to leave the email on the server when downloaded but will delete from the server when deleted locally. Otherwise, you would need to periodically log on to your email's web client and manually delete old email.

Alternately, your email provider may offer the option to delete email after period of time (e.g. after 6 months, ...).
