Outlook Express and Tools menu question

Normally I use the Send/Receive Icon to retrieve my mail.
I discovered when I go |TOOLS| SEND AND RECEIVE| and then
click the name of
my mail server, that I get all the messages that I have
previously received.
I called my ISP's help desk as I was concerned that all
my mail received was
staying on their server, taking up space and eating up my
quota. The help
desk person was not aware of this and said there must be
a wrong setting or
bug in my Outlook Express. He had me check to view the
Advanced tab
properties to see that I had not checked on the "Leave a
copy of messages on
server". I hadn't. It is blank.
Is this an ISP server setting that is wrong? or is this a
normal function of
OE6?... or do I have something set wrong.

Thanks.
