   How to delete old mail using mailx   
   09 May 25 02:11:05   
   
   From: NoEMail@home.org   
      
   I've been in the hospital and over that period I   
   accumulated 41 messages go back three days. I use   
   fetchmail to get the messages, procmail to proces   
   them, and mailx to read them. Normally I just use   
   d* under mailx to delete them after. I can delete   
   /var/spool/mail/root, but they just come back   
   on the next fetchmail. I know I have done this   
   before but I am too tired to search for it.   
      
   I am fetching mail from gmail.
