I don't know anything about VSOUP, but if you're
downlaoding your mail from a POP server, you can do the
job with telnet. First:

telnet <your.pop.server> 110

Then

user <your login>
pass <your password>

list [-will show you how many messages you have, and their
size]

top <message number> [-will show short header and first
few lines of message number
specified, all of them if you don't
include a number ]

dele <message number> [-will delete message from server]

quit

More about POP is available in the RFC - I forget the
number. :)
