Flags all the messages in the inbox for deletion from the server.

Return Value

true if the messages have been flagged for deletion or the inbox is empty; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If the POP3 server supports pipelining, this method will flag all the messages in a single network operation, which greatly increases performance and reduces network traffic.

Note   Messages flagged for deletion are actually removed from the server on Disconnect method call. Until this moment, the developer can remove the deletion status for all messages flagged as deleted by calling ResetDeletes method.

Exceptions
