Hey good people..

Got my mac a little week ago. I did a reinstall of OS X today, and set up my mail again. When checked for mail, it also recieved old mails I already did recieve earlier. WTF..?? Does Apple mail not delete it from the mail server?

I can't find any settings for this in the preferences.. :(

There is an option in Mail preferences to delete mail immediately, weekly, or monthly from the server once it's downloaded. It'll be under each account.
