Perhaps Oliver should have a look at poppy (http://www.cnpbagwell.com/projects.html)
>From the website: " This simple Perl script will individually read the headers of messages on a POP3 or IMAP account and then prompt you to read, save, delete or reply to the message. This works great for systems with limited resources, whether that's low disk space, slow mail connections, or no GUI's. You can selectively read your email directly from the mail server without having to download all the huge files waiting for you. Also allows you to selectively delete message from the server while saving others so that they can later be downloaded from another program and/or place (read and delete from work then download the important ones later from home). [...] Sample "spamkill" application included. This small script will scan the headers of all your email and delete those that match certain tests." I did not try spamkill, but the poppy application works well for me.
