It do have this option for other folders that are not IMAP folders.
Oh, so all the suggestions based on scriptology were useless because you don't have normal file-level access to your mbox?... Then I suspect that either you will find a mailreader that will do what you want or you will have to display some ingenuity. Try using fetchmail(1) with --all and --nokeep in conjunction with some MDA that will return success only on old messages while forward them to /dev/null. Check the RETRIEVAL FAILURE MODES section of man fetchmail. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
