It is usually up to the client what they want to download, how many 
times they do it (a user may have different clients and may reconfigure 
them to drop and re-add an account, etc.), and when they delete from the 
server.  I'd be surprised if any servers strictly limit repeat 
downloads.  On the other hand, any sensible mail client will track the 
messages it already has and not download them again.  If something is 
doing it repeatedly it is probably broken.

I use a service from www.fusemail.com. It's worked quite nicely for my and
our
small company.  I've setup multiple email accounts and they all gel pulled 
into the same inbox at my fusemail account.  I've setup multiple folders and
rules to segregate the various email accounts, mailing lists, etc.  I use an 
IMAP connection for my mail client, so any actions I take on the web interface 
(away from my laptop) such as deleting emails, creating new folders, etc are 
automatically reflected in my mail client (in my case Kmail) the next time I 
connect. Thus, if I delete messages from the web interface then my mail client 
never tries to download those same messages, and if my client has already 
pulled them then they simply disappear on the next check.
