Does anyone know how to get just the message headers from a POP3 mailbox and then go back separately and delete the unwanted mails without actually downloading them all?
I'm using a program called popmail to prefilter the mailbox that gets most of the spam. I used a perl script called disspam in the past. If you want to do it interactively, you can use mutt with "mutt -f pop://user@server/" and delete from there. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.
