It can do everything required barring one feature: it cannot delete mail
from a remote host without downloading it. Furthermore, its filtering does
not allow the user to delete a mail after it has been downloaded, only to
divert it straight to the "trash" folder.

This said, sylpheed-claws might have the required functions:
