Hi,
Can I get movemail to only download new email, as opposed to the entire inbox every time? By new email I just mean email not previously downloaded to the destination mailbox, and not necessarily unread messages. I'm using IMAP and would like to avoid deleting email on the remote server. I tried the following to test: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- movemail --max-messages=10 -r -m -v 'imaps://aportnoy%40fastmail.com:<pass>@imap.fastmail.com:993' FASTMAIL-INBOX --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This downloaded 10 most recent messages as expected. Running this command again simply downloads the 10 messages again. I then hoped that the following command would reuse the existing messages and terminate quickly, but instead it hangs and seems to generate a lot of traffic: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- movemail -u --max-messages=10 -r -m -v 'imaps://aportnoy%40fastmail.com:<pass>@imap.fastmail.com:993' FASTMAIL-INBOX --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I tried the same approach using POP and got the same results. Is there a way to get movemail to skip downloading messages that the destination mailbox already contains? Thank you, Andrey.
