Default Can Outlook POP3 be configured not to download "read" emails frommy ISP?

I am reconfiguring Outlook on a new machine, and I already have my
original Outlook PST mounted in Outlook. I want to recreate my POP
settings in Outlook on the new machine, but I don't want to connect to
my ISP and have it download all my "read" emails that I keep on the
server, simply because Outlook doesn't see them as already being in the
local PST, and loading my PST with duplicate emails.

Is this doable?

Log in to your ISP mailbox via the web interface, create another folder, and
move the old messages from the server's Inbox to that new folder. POP
protocols won't be able to see it.
