A cheap & cheerful way is to look at /var/log/messages when fetchmail runs - you'll see it logging something like "retrieving mail 24 of 256 at mail.yourisp.com", where obviously it has 256 mails for you. being a bear of little brain I'm not going to attempt to grep it to find the total :) On Monday, April 24, 2000 9:13 AM, Jason [SMTP:jebs@ozemail.com.au] wrote:

Hi there.

Ok, i'm lazy, so that's why i'm asking. But is there a way of determing the number of msgs retreived by fetchmail.

I'm trying to make the 'You have new mail' msg more informative, to something like 'You have 520 new messages' (always the case for me..) But this issue i'm fine with..

Regards, Jason.
