I am trying to clear out my GMail account and recover some space. I've already searched for large attachments, but it seems like there's a fair amount of "dust" which adds up to gigabytes.
I know Fetchmail exists and can be used to download emails, but can I use it or something similar to download summary information so it can be sorted and deleted later?
Ideally the procedure would be to have a list of all emails as tuples of
(id, parent id [for chains], to, from, subject, size, total attachment size)
This would be retrieved for every email, but none of the bodies or attachments would be downloaded. I could then query this arbitrarily and get a list of id numbers which I can submit for deletion.
Is there a way to do this?
I use Ubuntu and am comfortable with a command line.
