This may or may not be the correct forum for this question, but I figured I 
 would take a shot.  We have developed a web utility that allows our users 
 to forward their account to another email address.  This has been working 
 great, one downside is that sometimes they want to also forward all of 
 their mail that is currently sitting in their mailbox, which we have not 
 done.  Now it is easy enough for them to check their mail one last 
 time.  However, something else I have run into is that looking through our 
 users who have forwarded their mail, I have noticed that a large majority 
 of them are using several MB of disk space that has not been touched for 
 months and in some cases years.  Now I know that several MB doesn't seem 
 like much by multiply several MB times 10,000 users and that is a 
 significant amount.
 
 So my question for the group is....
 
 Is it possible or has someone already written a program that will take 
 someone's mailbox and forward all mail to another account and then remove 
 those messages off of the system?

I believe that is what Fetchmail does.
