The command above would be a really bad idea, as it'd nuke the spool :)
On top of that, if you do that when XMail is running, you are going to 
mess up with it, since you are removing content from within its domain.
At the moment you'd need to do it externally, by parsing the spool.
But if you want to remove stuff from it, you better stop XMail before, and 
clean all the associated files inside the spool.
