Main User Mailbox question

found this with google..might be worth trying...

Code:

Use this

if the message is frozen

exim -bpru|grep frozen|awk {'print $3'}|xargs exim -Mrm

if the message is <>

exim -bpru|grep '<>'|awk {'print $3'}|xargs exim -Mrm

if all

exim -bpru|awk {'print $3'}|xargs exim -Mrm

 

Using the Mail Manager (CMM) from Chirpy, i would just find the email in question and hit the 'empty mailbox' option. This works very quickly and has many other useful options as well. I use it to monitor the email boxes on my server to warn the users when they are getting near full (at 92%).

My other suggestion would be to use WinSCP3 and go to the directory where the mail is and select all the files in the directory and delete, but this takes a while as it deletes each one in order.

If you are familiar with SSH, that would be the other option and go to the mail directory (/home/USER/mail/(cur,usr,tmp)) and delete the email in the folders.
