It is very simple - you do not need any config. I just installed mutt
(from unstable). Then I call:
mutt -f pop://xxxxxxx@pop.gmx.net
where xxxxxxx is my customer number from GMX (you can use both e-Mail
address and customer number as login but I guess E-mail won't work because
it has an @ inside). pop.gmx.net is your providers pop server.
Then you are asked for your password and see the contents of your mailbox.
Use arrow keys to move up and down, press D to delete a message. Q exits
mutt, it asks you to delete the marked ("D") messages. Just press enter
and you are done.
I do have a dial-up connection too, so this is my way to get rid of SWEN...
