My Outlook/ISP mailbox is full

I have outlook 2010 on my home desktop pc and also have my emails stored on my ISP's server.  I just got an email from my isp saying that I need to delete emails or purchase more space on their server.   Here's what I'd like to do:
1.  Just keep the last six months of email on my ISP server and the rest of my emails (dating back five years) on my PC.  In outlook so that when I get homeI can read them.  
2.  How can I do this so that on my home desktop I see ALL OF MY EMAILS DATING BACK SIX years but on my mobile device I only see the last six months.

How much is your ISP charging you for an inferior email service?

You could get 50Gb of storage space and then store ALL your emails in the Cloud with office 365 and then you won't have to worry about space or problems as Outlook will show all your emails and your phone will show you as much or as little as you like.

$4.00 a month should be all you need to pay.

My ISP had a strict limit on how much mail I could keep on there server.

So, instead of downloading it to my PC I just signed up for an Outlook.com account. Outlook.com transfers all my mail to it, where I have a substantially larger mailbox size (and a way better webmail interface). The other benefit is that it keeps my mail in the Cloud (not on a PC that may one day crash) and it integrates with the free Office Online products, as well as my OneDrive cloud storage.

I've never looked back. :)
