We use a program here called qdpop. Written in perl, it can contact any
normal POP server. It doesnt care what format your mailbox is in since it
doesnt deal directly with the mbox. It goes through the POP server on that
machine.
The version we are running is pretty old, and doesnt have very many
features, but it is simple and it works. There is no address book
function, or even attachments. Just read/delete/reply/new message.
The only downside that we've discovered is that the machine RUNNING the
actual qdpop cgi/script will MAX out the load on the machine without
tweaking when someone 'checks' their mail.

If all you want to do is to delete users messages, you can always 'telnet'
to the pop server and do it by hand. It's quick, there is no need to
download each message, just do a list and dele the proper files.
