The keep option in fetchmail approximates what you are looking for - but
mails get marked old (will be retrieved by "fetchall" anyway).  However, if
your pop server supports and uses UIDL, look for a file called .fetchids in
your home directory and delete it.  That should serve the purpose if you
again run fetchmail with "keep" but still want to download all the mails.
