Is there a way to delete a crap load of mail when I run the 'mail' command on my server when logged in through SSH?

If anything it would be in /var/mail/username

and additionally using the mail command you can do

d 1 - 100000000000

which would delete the 1st 100000000000 mails

or use something like mailwasher, or the bat. you can grab just the headers and you can delete them all at once while keeping the few that you may want.
