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. -- Gary
