fetchmail new messages
Hi,
I have suse 10.1. How do I get only new messages with fetchmail ? I put the "no fetchmail" option in the /etc/fetchmailrc file, but it doesn't help : I still get all (new and old) the messages in my mailbox, and I only want the new ones ! Can someone help me ? |
What's in your .fetchmailrc (that should be ~/.fetchmailrc)?
|
This is my ~/.fetchmailrc (it's identical to /etc/fetchmailrc) :
Code:
# Edit carefully, see /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-mail/fetchmailrc.txt |
Can somebody help me ?
|
It's most likely that the server isn't marking them as read. Whose server is it?
|
How come the server is marking messages as read if I use Outlook in windows ? Whose server , like the name of the ISP ? or what ?
|
Where are you retrieving messages with fetchmail from? What does your setup look like? Do you actually use fetchmail?
|
I set it up using the mail transfer agent in yast control center. Whenever I change the protocol in "mail transfer agent" from AUTO to POP3 or the other way around the file /etc/fetchmailrc changes accordingly (~/.fetchmailrc doesn't change accordingly , curiously), so I figured it uses fetchmail, isn't it ?

You really haven't explained anything. How does outllok fit in? What is your network setup? Where are you pulling messages from?
Please don't expect people here to second guess everything. |
I connect to the internet(it's a fiberlink connection so it's set up using dsl ) using two network connections eth1( phisical nic ) and dsl0 ( which I created ). I set up "mail transfer agent" in yast using the same info that I use in windows (Outlook).
"How does outllok fit in ? " - sorry I don't understand this question. I'm pulling messages from the mail server of my ISP and I use the same info which I use in windows (outlook) to do it. So what I want is fecthmail or any other mail service process to pull only my new messsages from the server. |
I'm willing to give more info .. just don't know what .. . My fetcmailrc file is above ...
Anyone ? |
