Since this barrage seems to have stopped (thanks Anselm), this is probably
unneeded info, however all the "modern" mail clients I've used allow a user
to set rules for messages from a particular sender, such as "file new mail
received from Mike in Deleted Messages!" That at least gets rid of the
clutter! Unfortunately it doesn't get around the problem of actually having
to download the 60 messages, unless you use a utility like Mailcall, which
allows you to preview headers and delete messages prior to downloading.
