from `man fetchmail`: Disposal Options -a, --all (Keyword: fetchall) Retrieve both old (seen) and new messages from the mailserver. The default is to fetch only messages the server has not marked seen. Under POP3, this option also forces the use of RETR rather than TOP. Note that POP2 retrieval behaves as though --all is always on (see RETRIEVAL FAILURE MODES below) and this option does not work with ETRN or ODMR. so by default, only new messages are downloaded, unless you use the -a, --all, or the 'fetchall' option. :) Dan -- Dan Boger Linux MVP brainbench.com
