hi again i was wondering how can i set my fetchmail not to fetch all the mail but the mail that is new discarding the mail that was already been fetched
you can use nofetchall option with poll. Btw, it is the default option if nothing else like fetchall or keep is specified. Dipesh
yes ofcourse, you can use keep for not to delete messages from server, and alongwith you can use nofetchall to fetch only newer messages for more details about options see man page, man pages are our friends in need
so i have a problem i have the nofetchall parameter but it stil fetches all the mail (if i use the default settings without the nofetchall parameter i stil fetches all) im using pop3 as protocol any ideas waht can i do ?
poll mail.example.com proto pop3 user "[email protected]" pass "password" is myuser keep that's it ...
output: /home/myuser/.fetchmailrc /home/myuser/.fetchmailrc~ /usr/lib/YaST2/servers_non_y2/ag_fetchmailrc /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-mail/fetchmailrc.txt
no file in /etc/fetchmailrc in /home/myuser/.fetchmailrc poll my.mail.server proto pop3 user "myusername@mydomain" pass "password" is mylocaluser keep no fetchall P.S. thx for the replys man
Hello Falko, I came know to about similar problem at one of client's setup. There fetchmail is running in daemon mode, with system wide config at /etc/fetchmailrc and no per user config. There is similar problem, all mails are fetched every time. So, I came to understand that there may be some issues at ISP side, i.e. if ISP's servers are running some older version of softwares, then this might happen. The similar setup is running fine with other ISPs but just this ISP. Dipesh
