mailbox nearing overflow

Hey,

I just realized that my mailbox has almost 5000 messages in it, most of which I would like to delete. Is there any way to do that aside from going through 215 pages manually deleting messages? Can create a script or rule of some sort? Apple Mail lets me create a rule that can go through my local mailbox and move or flag messages.

Since you mention Apple Mail, why not just set up access to your sonic account via IMAP and then use a rule (or maybe even just selecting the range) and delete the messages from there?

Well, duh. Maybe I would have come up with that if I had used both of my brain cells. Thanks.

Mine is at 199,563 now. No desire to throw any away - I use them as a supplement to my brain when I need to remember someone or something!
