Getmail defaults to not deleting messages that it has retrieved via any protocol, including POP. From its documentation: "delete (boolean) — if set, getmail will delete messages after retrieving and successfully delivering them. If unset, getmail will leave messages on the server after retrieving them. Default: False." Admittedly, it's an MDA rather than an MUA. ... > Of course, there are also fetchmail and getmail for that task and you can > instruct both applications to keep a copy in the server. No need to instruct getmail to do so, it's the default, as above. I have to manually invoke it with the '-d' flag, or use the 'delete' keyword in the config files, to get deletion.
