email question

[Fiveohhh]

Somehow an email acct for my parents business got deleted and all of it was going to the catchall box, theres 20000 emails in there(250mb) 99.99% of which is spam, but she needs the otherones. Will this mess outlook up if I have it connect to it, Theres a good spam program(spambayes) integrated into outlook that I'd like to run it through(only feasable way). It freezes up squirrelmail when I try to look through webmail. Is there any easier way to have it parse through it on the server side? I also have access to the INBOX file that has all the emails(250mb)

If you have SSH you could try using PINE.

Just login with username, password and type PINE

Might take a while though manually wading through 20,000 emails.

Who's the web host?

Use a filter.

I'd rather throw them all away than sort through them. I just decided to have outlook connect and use spambayes to filter them as they come, at 2500 out of 20758 They're using addaction
