It should really be as simple as typing (in a terminal)

Code:
cd ~/.modest/cache/mail/pop/your_pop_mail_account/cache
and

Code:
rm * -rf
No programming required, I promise!

///EDIT

OR if ur stuck by the "your_pop_mail_account" part, to find out what u should type there, just do
Code:
cd ~/.modest/cache/mail/pop/
and then type
Code:
ls
you should see the folder name that you need to put there. Then follow the first step (step 4) again with that folder name in there.

[The terminal gets easier the more you play with it!]

I've been hoping for the past year that there was some fix for this, and that I'm not crazy-that the emails really are accumulating and choking the memory of my 810.

If I can't figure out how to get your method to work, I guess I'll have to resort to periodically reflashing my tablet. That will work, but I'll have to re-enter all my settings manually, since, for some reason, I can't back up settings without also backing up all my "deleted" emails (30 Mb worth). That would sort of defeat the purpose.

one option could be to install gpe filemanager.

one will have to enter the .modest part of the path by hand tho, as said app is unable to display .hidden objects

I did try the first, but got hung up on the exact file extension name.

I'll give it another try. When I can get this settled, I may get bold and try claws mail..

Thanks to all.
