Arvind,
Don't think you can put things like "dele 1-100" on the
telnet command. If you are looking for something scriptable,
install "netcat". IIRC, it was available it via anonymous FTP
from: ftp://ftp.avian.org/src/hacks/nc110.tgz ... Recheck the
URL through google.
A script similar to this will do the trick:
------------------<snip>---------------------------------
#! /bin/bash
( echo user your_username
echo pass your_password
echo stat
echo list
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12;
do
echo dele $i
done
echo quit ) | nc -v -v pop3.server.id 110
