OK. I check /etc/fetchmailrc and removed all the entries. Now I only have ~/.fetchmailrc and start it locally. my ~/.fetchmailrc for yahoo looks following: set postmaster "wojtek" set bouncemail set no spambounce set properties ""
yet the mails are still not deleated from the yahoo server!!!
If anyone has any idea what should I try next please help.
You want to use the paramater "fetchall" which should delete off the server. For example: poll server.com with proto <protocol>: user "user" there with password "password" is user here no idle fetchall;

How can I tell whether /etc/fetchmailrc is used?
If it exists, it will be used - not instead of, but both of them: one by the system (script /etc/ppp/poll.tcpip) and another by you.
And if so is there a setting in Yast (or somwhere else) that I can turn it off?
Yast would create it if on Yast you defined mailboxes to be fetched. Undefine them - or simply delete the file.
There is another possibility: there is a problem while downloading mail from yahoo, the connection to the server goes down, and mail is not deleted from the server. Depending on many things, including your configuration, mail could be downloaded again. To detect this, look at the mail log - it maybe necessary to call fetchmail with the -v parameter (verbose).
