Right, That was indeed the question. But in the man fetchmail it says, "The fetchmail program can gather mail from servers supporting any of the common mail-retrieval protocols: POP2, POP3, IMAP2bis, IMAP4, and IMAPrev1." Regarding which type of IMAP, man fetchmail says, IMAP IMAP2bis, IMAP4, or IMAP4rev1 (fetchmail autodetects their capabilities). So, Is the deal that fetchmail can "gather" the mail from my IMAP server but once it has gathered it and delivered it to procmail, it's deleted from the server? Can anyone suggest some more documentaiton I can have a look at (or, if you're up for it, just explain to me how the heck this is supposed to work? )?

Hi, A marathon of posts today. All the below refers to a Suse 8.2 machine.
I am running Fetchmail to grab mail from two accounts; one is an IMAP account and one a POP3 account. Once I get it from fetchmail, it gets sent to procmail, which then does what it does and forwards the messages to the appropriate user mailbox.
Has that just destroyed the IMAP-ness of the mail fetched from the IMAP account? How can I make my MUA (KMAIL) see that this is IMAP mail and synchronize with the server?
By NOT retrieving the email with fetchmail.
