If they refuse to delete it or charge pay (as my ISP do), you can
do it manualy rather easily. You will need a Telnet application for
this. Connect to your POP3 mailserver on port 110
(in your case, pop.hotpop.com:110 ) and login with the following
procedure (replace the word username and password with your username
and password when following this.):
user username
pass password
list
dele nn
quit
Thats the end of the procedure. "list" will list all the messages
you have. The format should be: <message number> <filesize>
For example:
1 1432
2 3224
3 946
replace the "nn" in "dele" with the number of the message you want
to delete. For example, if its message number 3, then: dele 3
Be advised that the message will only be deleted after you quit.
If just you disconnect the telnet instead of using the quit command,
the message will _not_ be deleted. (its a safety thing against
having the message deleted by accident while getting your mail).
Also, unless you'll have "local echo" enabled, you would not see
what you type.. not really important, anyway. But still should know
that. :)
Other usefull commands if you want to know: "retr nn" read message,
"noop" No Operator - let you about a minute or so of no keyboard
input before disconnecting you instead of 20 seconds as usuall..
Have fun.
