downloading email from pop3 does not necessarily mean you have to delete 
them from the pop3 server...  most (good) email clients will support 
options like "download new messages only" and "delete from server after 
download/deleted/empty trash/etc" -- check your client's options or use a 
different email client.

check out samba... it's a good way to integrate with ms.  i personally 
prefer to use ftp on my lan between my win and lin boxes.
