I use mailwasher. I have the pro version which I paid for but they still have a free version available at their old site.

http://www.mailwasher.net/

Not sure if the freebie version works on the web based email like AOL, Yahoo and Hotmail.

It allows you to access the email on the ISP server so it never gets loaded onto your computer. You can read, filter and delete at the ISP server then process the remaining good emails to your computer. It's the best.
It's easy to use I set it up on my parents computer and my mom uses it. You can set up as many accounts on it as you want. I have about 18 email addresses on it. They also now have a program called B9 which strips the nasties out of email so even if one did slide through it would be rendered useless. It's great. Check them out. I don't know how I ever dealt with the email before I set used it. The other benefit is when someone sends something that is huge and jamming your account you can delete it via mailwasher instead of having to call your ISP and get some techie there to delete it off their server.
