Delete dead mail in mail.boxes

If you have several mail.boxes on your server and want your administrator to be able to occasionally run a manual agent to delete all dead messages, this agent will work for you. This agent prints the number of deleted messages to the status bar for each mail.box and then prompts the user with the total deletions from all. Just put this agent in it's own database on the server and manually run it.
