Ideally I would like to configure fetchmail to mark as read and
flush without downloading any files over a certain size. But the
manual does not seem to tell me how to do this.
Have you tried the combination of --limit and --flush?
I didn't try it because the manual makes it sound like it wouldn't
work. That is, my understanding is that --flush only gets rid of mail
messages that have already been read. If I use --limit to download
only mail messages under a certain size, I assume the large mail
messages that remain on the server are not marked as read and
therefore won't be flushed next time I visit the server using -flush.
