Deleting them, I don't think so. But not fetching them, yes. This can be
achieved with the -l option (--limit).
Once you have fetched every wanted mail, you can use telnet (port:
usually 110) to delete the others.
commands: user <username>
pass <password>
list -> to display which messages remain
stat
top <IdMail> <NbLines> -> display <NbLines> from <IdMail>
dele <IdMail> -> to delete one mail
quit
Hope this helps,
Cedric
