fetchmail-friends,

hi, i just looked through all of the archives for fetchmail-friends
and noticed that some people had the same question i have: can
fetchmail be set to delete messages older than x days? The idea is
that when the mail is checked, it doesn't delete what it just
downloaded, but rather it deletes the messages that are of a certain
age.

perhaps you replied to them, but the answer didn't appear on
fetchmail-friends, afaik.

So, _can_ fetchmail do that?

No.

A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring
one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their
own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the
mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good
government, and all that is necessary to close the circle of our
felicities.
