As a result of a long-running cron job, I have over 1,000 messages in my user's mailbox. What's the easiest way to delete them?
If you want to delete all the messages, you can simply truncate the mailbox file for a user with the following command:
> /var/mail/username
(the greater than sign is not a prompt: you are in effect redirecting the output of nothing to the file, which will truncate it).
