Most often when you get mail from a pop server, you delete it from the server. What happens if you do not delete the mail? The next time you retrieve your mail, you will get duplicates. Instead, if you check UIDLs, you can ensure that you only get new mails. fetchmail uses the uidl method if you ask it to. -- Knowledge is pitiless. -Orange Catholic Bible ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
