Hai Gary, Do you think getmail is a good alternative for fetchmail? Because I will try to have my mail setup reorganised in two or three months and will then have all my mail on Suse. As a mater of fact, I set up the fetchmail in order to get the taste of it and experiment with it in order to make it the program of choice in my new setup. Does it have a grafic configuration (have to admit that I liked the fetchmailconf). spamfilter and so on as in fetchmail? Is it maintained somewhere? On Monday 05 May 2003 23:43, gary wrote:

I am downloading and sorting out my email still on a seperate system in DrDos and I not yet ready with my home network setup so I want to keep the emails on my isp when I have a look at them with Suse. With "fetchmail -keep" that works but with a flaw.
Everytime fetchmail thinks it should contact my ISP all emails which it had already downloaded are downloaded again. That means with the suse list only a rapid filling up of my harddisc with a multitude of the same emails.
It's been that way ever since I started using fetchmail (7.3?)
There may be a way to prevent it but I've never found it.
Long ago, I switched to getmail, a fetchmail alternative, written in python. This will cure the double download problem.
