dovecot & fetchmail ... fetching all mail

hello

it is happening that imap clients fetcing all mail again form imap (also already read). i dont know why is this happening. maybe form a server crash or logrotate.

do you have any idea?

I don't follow your post. Are you saying that if you connect a mail client to your imap server that you see all messages? Isn't this what you'd expect? What do you want to see happen?

damn what am i writing .. :/

i was trying to say that fetchmail starts fetching all mail again also the one already fetched

I assume you are using POP?

Are you sure you haven't specified the -keep option either at the command level or in fetchmailrc?

yes it fatching from pop

this is how my fetchmailrc looks:

Code:

set daemon 150

set no syslog

set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log

poll "server" protocol pop3

    username "mail" with password "pass" is "user" here keep

    username "mail2" with password "pass2" is "user2" here keep

mimedecode



# SOME USEFUL OPTIONS

# keep - Don't delete seen messages from server

# no keep - Delete seen messages from server (default)

# fetchall - Fetch all messages whether seen or not

# no fetchall - Retrieve only new messages (default)

i know "no" keep would solve the problem but user wants to keep mail also on pop account
