Newly installed fetchmail and configured it with fetchmailconf on my Suse8.1. 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. Can that be solved with a command that I have overlooked?
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.
Procmail: # ------------------------------------------------------- # remove duplicates ## from man procmailex examples ## # 12-13-2002
LOCKFILE = msgid.cache.lock
:0 Wh: msgid.lock : | formail -D 16384 msgid.cache
LOCKFILE # -------------------------------------------------------
You will still download them but they will not appear in your mailbox. You may have to experiment with the cache size, depending on your traffic and the length of time you leave the mail on the server.
You've got to be kidding!! Right now I'm staring at 337 emails on my isp pop... and you want me to download them all every 6 minutes? Not a very good solution. (the reason for the 337 is that I am not at home right now... and want to keep them until I get there)
