Deleting mails from the command line?

[SAiello at Jentoo.com]

Paul,

Kinda of topic here. Saw in your email youa re using imapsync, to import your 
emails. Was curious about the --exclude statement, and if you are using it. I 
am migrating from an Exchange 5.5 server, and I do not need the exchange 
folders (i.e. Calendar, Journal, etc). Do you know of any way to use imapsync 
and exclude more than one folder ?

Thanks,
  Steven
