30==========
31* Run popcheck with the -o switch first to make a textfile with all
32 messages, including numbers and sizes.
33
34* Edit this file and remove all lines describing mail you want to keep.
35
36* Make sure the only lines in the file are those describing the mails you
37 want to REMOVE. Please double-check because there is no turning-back
38 after you execute popcheck with the -i switch.
39
40* Run popcheck with the -i switch. All messages matching the message
41 numbers and sizes (in the file) will be removed from the POP server.
42
43Please note that you run this program on your own risk. It's very easy
44to remove messages that you want to remove, but also to remove messages
45that you didn't want to remove. BE CAREFUL.
