POPClear

[Scripts Archive Main] | [Download Now | Requirements]

POPClear is a script that will delete all of the messages in a POP3 mailbox. Deleting is done without downloading or viewing the messages, the script simply connects to the POP3 server and deletes everything in the mailbox. I wrote this script because the mailbox for my BellSouth.net dialup account, which I keep as a backup in case my cable modem goes down, gets nothing but spam.

To use the script, simply set the configuration variables ($host, $user, $pass) and run the script.

Requirements:

• PHP 4.0 or newer
• PHP must be compiled with sockets support

Note: POPClear assumes that the username and password you supply are valid. You will not get an error message if you specify invalid auth info - the messages will simply not be deleted from the mailbox.
