[linux-help] Re: deleting emails through telnet

["Jonathan Hall" <flimzy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The quickest way I can think of...

$ for n in $(seq 700); do echo "dele $n" > asdf.txt; done

Then telnet to your POP3 server and log in, then cut-and-paste asdf.txt to
your telnet client's window.

thanks for the info
I know this method but this will only delete the
perticuler message. I have about 700 messages and
I want to get rid of them all.
Thanks,
Sudharsha.
