Re: [fetchmail]A few questions.

  I'm kinda new to fetchmail and I was wondering if someone could
  answer two of my questions:

  Say I have 10 different (busy) pop3 boxes to check. Is there a way
  to check them simultaniously instead of one after the other?

Yup, run 10 copies of fetchmail.

  Is it possible to have fetchmail delete every succesfully retreived
  and forwarded email immediately? I believe it now only deletes all
  retreived mail after the last one was retrieved succesfully.

Not sure how this would speed things up.

  It's taking a long time for me to check all these pop accounts and I
  would like to speed things up a bit.

How long is "a long time"? A minute, 2 minutes? That's really not all that long. Admittedly if you're at 5 minutes then it's getting long, but there's little you can do except stagger the connections (ie use the interval setting).


   Please don't CC me on anything sent to mailing lists or send
       me email directly unless it's a privacy issue, thanks.
