Sorry, my mailbox was one of those which consumed the diskspace.
It would be nice if we could have a pop client on one of our
FreeBSD.ORG machines so that I can manage my mails a lot more easily.
What I do is to leave the mails on hub for backup purpose and I used
to remove them once every two weeks or so when MH was available on the
machine.
Cheers,
Max
