actually, you can do that (although it'll be very slow):
rm /mail/fs/mbox/*
the slowness comes from the fact that it rewrites the entire
mailbox after every remove.
quicker would be:
cd /mail/fs/mbox
echo delete mbox * > ../ctl
the advantage of doing this over just truncating the mailbox
file is that you don't have to delete all the messages.
for instance, you could delete the oldest 500 messages with
cd /mail/fs/mbox
echo delete mbox `{ls -n | sed 500q} > ../ctl
