it seems that `getmail` can do so. see:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/49175/make-fetchmail-leave-mail-on-server-for-a-specified-period-of-time

in my search, I found that neither fetchmail or mutt are able to
postpone deletion of downloaded mail.

I didn't try the getmail option myself.

If you're willing to use an external tool for POP, getmail has exactly that
functionality.  It can be configured to deliver to local maildirs, mbox files,
or just about anything else, so it's easy to integrate with mutt.

POP3: keep messages in server for x days

2022-08-23 Thread X Tec
Hello again.

Title.
I already know about pop_delete and pop_last; but is it possible to tell Mutt 
something like "keep messages in remote server, but only for a certain amount 
of time"?
Thanks again.
