Deleting all email messages

Upon disconnecting from a POP3 server you can optionally delete any messages retrieved from the account mailbox during your session by invoking the Pop#setDelete method with a true argument prior to retrieving any messages from the mailbox.

Example

// establish connection

pop.connect();

// mark messages retrieved for deletion upon logout

pop.setDelete(true);

// get messages in mailbox

Enumeration e = pop.getMessages();

// loop thru all messages in mailbox marking each for deletion upon retrieval

while(e.hasMoreElements()) {

 EmailMessage message = (EmailMessage)e.nextElement();

}

// delete messages marked for deletion and logout

pop.disconnect();
