[SOLVED] fetchmail problems

hi all

We had our fetchmail running normally for almost 2 years now, the things it only gets the new email coming from gmail user, but after restarting it, it is now getting all emails from the start, i had added no fetchall on fetchmailrc but still getting all emails from the start, any suggestion how to get only new emails again????

fetchmailrc:

poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3 port 995 and options no dns
username 'account' there with password 'secret' is 'user' here options ssl

regards
-Nico

Seems to me you need to set the option in the gmail settings

Code:

options > mail settings => forwarding and pop/imap => Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on

You could also set gmail to delete the messages, once retrieved by fetchmail.

Kind regards
