I have my local copy of ~/.fetchmailrc. I do not
know (have to check when I get home) whether the
/etc/fetchmailrc is used.
How can I tell whether /etc/fetchmailrc is used?
And if so is there a setting in Yast (or somwhere
else)
that I can turn it off?
Thanks for your help,
Wojtek

[01-22-04 13:02]: Problem: While downloading mail from yahoo, the mail is not
deleted, and just
keeps downloading, so I get multiple copies of the SAME message. After while I end up with a lot of copies of the repeated messages in my local inbox and the mail in yahoo is still not deleted.
Are you running fetchmail as user or does the system start it automagickally? If the system, it uses /etc/fetchmailrc, not ~/.fetchmailrc. The differences between the two rc files is more than likely the problem. Look for parameters -a or --all, -k or --keep, -K or --nokeep and -F or --flush. man fetchmail will explain.
Please post your findings.
