mutt and telnet are my favourite programs.

For mutt simply run:
mutt -f pop://pop.server.com

then it will ask you for username and password and will retrieve all the
headers for you and you can look at them and delete them without
downloading the full messages.

For telnet simply run:
telnet pop.server.com 110
USER username
PASS password
LIST
TOP number (to show only the headers)
DELE number (to delete the message)
QUIT (once you're done)

Hope that helps,
Bijan
