Now here it is: www.inti.be/hammer/playnet/autopop4.zip
A fetchmail script for the NETBAS interpreter which allows to highly selectively dowload mails from POP3 servers or delete them _at_ the server. Salient point is that all sorting/selecting can be done OFFLINE. Thus it's sort of a recursive[*] tool to reduce online time and fees, allowing to sort out the trash and SPAM _without_ downloading all of it. It needs the most recent Netbas version (8 Dec 02) which is here: www.inti.be/hammer/netbas34.zip (Both files are not tagged yet either at the www.revobild.net or at the www.inti.be/hammer/ sites, so it's to HTGET them directly.) I'm still in the test phase with it but using it daily and exclusively for my getmail runs. So far it works well, and seems to run pretty fast. The script has become considerably smaller too (ca.12 K), when stripped off the REMarks, in comparison to the earlier autopopN.nbs scripts - the .TXT file to explain it all is quite a bit more verbose, <g>. The setup needs some (very trivial) batch program writing to use it really recursively, and with any number of mail accounts to check at a same time on one dial-in run. I would be interested to get some good/better schemes for it. And as Netbas scripts are sheer text there's no limit to tinker with it.
