Right, That was indeed the question. But in the man fetchmail it says,
"The fetchmail program can gather mail from servers supporting any of the common mail-retrieval protocols: POP2, POP3, IMAP2bis, IMAP4, and IMAPrev1."
Regarding which type of IMAP, man fetchmail says,
IMAP IMAP2bis, IMAP4, or IMAP4rev1 (fetchmail autodetects their capabilities).
So, Is the deal that fetchmail can "gather" the mail from my IMAP server but once it has gathered it and delivered it to procmail, it's deleted from the server? Can anyone suggest some more documentaiton I can have a look at (or, if you're up for it, just explain to me how the heck this is supposed to work? )?
man fetchmail. If you use fetchmail -keep messages are not deleted from the server, if that is what you want.
Thanks. However I am looking to also delete messages from the server when they are deleted locally; basically I am getting the sense that IMAP won't be fully functional if fetchmail sits between the IMAP server and my mail client/? -- ---------------------------- Nick Selby NOTE NEW US Mobile: +1 347 804 4410 Germany: +49 89 2737 4527 *Currently in: MUNICH*
