If you can fetch mail only for this user, you can to use:
poll your.remote.mail.server:
user ........
bsmtp /dev/null
Is this what you looking for?
Ah, I thought yes, but on second thoughts, won't that download the mail
before it dumps it to /dev/null? I want to delete the mail from the
server instead of downloading it (to reduce the time the dialup line is
active). I see from the docs that it is possible to execute preexec and
postexec commands, so maybe one of those could be a 'delete all' command
if such exists, but I couldn't see one in the pop3 rfc.
