Hi, It's funny to reply to one's own query but the option which suits me is -e (--expunge). Thanks Suresh for pointing out -b, just below -b it is -B(which Binad suggested) and just below -B, -e is there in the man pages of fetchmail.
I used: fetchmail -e 4 The advantage is it doesn't throw you out at command prompt and after downloading 4 mails sends a QUIT signal to the server and then reconnects and starts downloading again. > Suresh> Try fetchmail -b (--batchlimit that is) ... see man > Suresh> fetchmail > More appropriate would be fetchmail -B (--fetchlimit).
