This may not solve your problem but have you considered "no keep" instead of "flush". According to the man pages "flush" can cause problems with retrieving mail if something causes the mail retrieval to hang.
BTW, the man pages shows "nokeep" but it's suppose to be "no keep" (in other words "no" and "keep" are suppose to be separated with a space). "nokeep" causes an error.
