And here's the python script:
import getpass, poplib, string
M = poplib.POP3('mail.foobar.com')
M.user('your.address')
M.pass_(getpass.getpass())
numMessages = len(M.list()[1])
print numMessages
x = M.list(0)
for i in range(1, numMessages):
print '=============================================='
print '=============================================='
x = M.top(i, 0)
print i
for y in x[1]:
z = string.split(y, ' ')
if z[0] in ('Date:', 'From:', 'To:', 'Subject:'):
print z
a = raw_input('Delete this message?')
if a in ('Y', 'y'):
M.dele(i)
if a in ('Q', 'q'):
break
M.quit()
