Maybe this is not what you want, but you could use fetchmail to get
email across your bad link and then run a local smpt and pop server.
fetchmail has an expunge setting where you can specify the number of
messages to fetch before expunging those marked for deletion.
I doubt that outlook express gives you that fine control on what it
does with pop servers - but you never know ;)
