Deleting all mails in the N900 (Maemo 5) permanently
Well couple of days back, I checked the folder details of one of my accounts configured on the N900 (Maemo 5) and it was showing some 1000 or more emails, whereas I had only 4-5 emails in the Inbox so where are the other emails and how to I get rid of them. This was causing the mail application to become a little slower than usual so do I live with it, I decided not to do so and thus found out how to delete all the mails.
For a handheld, I use the mail only to get the mails and reply them immediately. I do not keep the mails for future π . If you are one of my kind then you can follow on but if you want to keep any of the mails then DO NOT FOLLOW.
Open a terminal, and then do the following:

Once again, note that this will delete ALL the emails and not just selective ones, so be careful.
Remeber not to delete the other filesβ¦
And if you are lazy just like me then you can copy paste the below script and run it from terminal whenever you want π
