This is not a problem actually more like a feature. A normal POP session would be something like this
USER xxxx PASS xxxx STAT RETR 1 DELE 1 RETR 2 DELE 2 ...... ...... RETR xx DELE xx QUIT I am not sure whether it is part of the RFC or what but what most POP server will do is delete the files only when it receives a QUIT. If the connection breaks it will abort all the DELE - probably it will mark the emails as read but nothing more. Is it because of the UIDL option ?? - If the client is keeping track of what it has read (when you use the keep on server option) and what it hasnt probably it will start from the begining after a aborted connection - maybe thats why the delete's are not applied. Anyway the work around is the expunge option for fetchmail - just append expunge 10 in the "user <userid>" line in .fetchmailrc and it will send a quit after every 10 emails. Am sure this option is hidden somewhere in the OE and Netscape Messenger options too.
