Why not use
<cfoutput>
<cfloop from="#mailhead.recordcount#" to="#mailhead.recordcount# - 5"
step="-1" index="i">
#mailhead.from[i]# #mailhead.subject[i]#
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
Off top of my head. Can't remember if the array syntax is right though!

PS It may be quicker to go right down to the tcp request level if you want
more speed. This can be done by sending requests to the pop server like;
user <username>
pass <pass>
This will then return (in some text) the number of messages (lets say "x").
Then retrieve only those headers with
top x
top x-1
top x-2
top x-3
top x-4
This will return five headers to you. Play with them in CF, and you don't
have to download all of them!
You can then do anything you want with them. Delete them read them blah
blah blah!
