InboxCleaner
This program is designed to fix a problem I ran across while working as a Tech Support agent. Basically what happens is people go for long periods of time without checking there email or they have there clients set to save a copy of the message on the server, either way what happens is they go over quota and cant delete messages to get below quota because there web-mail client tries to copy the message to the trashcan first. Or if the company gives a higher quota the users would call in with 100,000+ emails (mostly Spam) in there inbox and want us to clean out all of the messages. This meant going through and manually deleting the messages because the I.T group wouldn’t give us access to the pop3 server to remove them all at once. So what this program does is it creates a telnet connection figures out how many messages are there and then you can tell it to kill every item in the inbox, or if a user is simple getting stuck on a certain message you can target just that one for deletion.
Warnings!!!
- This program is designed to remove emails from a server PERMANENTLY. There is no recovery from this.
- This program does not support imap or exchange(unless using the pop3 service)
- This program will only affect items in the inbox currently. If you have items in a sub-folder they should be safe.
- It was designed to be used by people that know what there doing. If you use this program it is at your own risk and you cannot hold me liable for any disaster that befalls you.
- This program is free for non-commercial work only. If your a business interested in using this program send me and email and we can talk about it.
with that being said this program was written in c#/mono and should be compatible with windows and Linux as long as you have .net 2.0 (windows) or mono 1.2.6(Linux) or higher.
