using Outlook 2003 - POP'ing from ISP

I have outlook set to wait 5 days before deleting emails on POP server.

Every time I start Outlook, it downloads ALL the emails - even the the
previously downloaded emails.

Is there a way to set Outlook NOT to download previously download email
message?

thanks
