Greetings,
I have a simple task for fetchmail for which I hope there is a simple
solution.
I want fetchmail to delete EVERYTHING from a POP3 mailbox without
retrieving ANYTHING. All mail that goes to this mailbox is automatically
forwarded to a POP mailbox on another server, and thus I want to delete
everything from this mailbox without further ado.
The man page says the 'limit' option "...[c]ombined with --flush...can be
used to delete oversized messages waiting on a server..."
However, "...In daemon mode, oversize notifications are mailed to the
calling user (see the --warnings option)." This is a problem, as I can't
want any warnings [end of story].
Please tell me there a way to do this!
Thanks in advance,
Damon
Dont think there is a way to do this with fetchmail but you can use this
python script. (stop fetchmail first then restart it after this script
has finished)...

Doh! Stupid mistake in the script.. Here is what it should have said:
delall.py
