Deleting emails

Hello,

I am running FM pro 19 on windows 10. I am using 360Works email plug in

I am wondering if it is possible to delete emails after "downloading" them.

I receive RFQ (request for quote) emails from a single sender for a government contract we have. My script reads all the emails and creates a record for each one, parsing out the details of the body of the email into various fields. I then run a script that searches through all those records and looks for keywords so I can determine what RFQ's I can bid on. I then go through those selected emails one by one to make a final decision. I mark each one as a no quote or a quote then proceed from there. 

Being as I receive between 300 and 500 of these a day, my email (microsoft 365) gets pretty big. And my quote vs no quote percentage is very low.

I need to keep all the records in my database, even the ones I don't quote, for reasons not germain to this issue, but I need to delete the emails of the ones I don't quote just so I don't go over my email size limit for our Microsoft 365 account. I've heard I can delete them as I am reading them by flagging them as delete but I can't do it at that level because I have to do the parsing first. So once I determine the ones I don't quote I have to go into my outlook, find those emails and delete them one at a time. 

Is there a way to go back through the messages in my database and somehow have them delete the related emails in my outlook?
