[fetchmail]Joint mail accounts

2002-04-22 13:40:15
Hello!

I use fetchmail for a while and only recently I encountered a small
problem. In the company I work for, we use joint mail account for some
administrative mails. The mails on this account get deleted once in a
week and before that I can retrieve them off of it.

The problem is that I don't know how to persuade fetchmail to only
retrieve new mail. Currently it is set as:

poll server with proto POP3
 user 'username' there with password 'password' is 'andy' here options
keep

This will retrieve mails, but it will only retrieve mails that are
unread. Unfortunately when coworkers retrieve mails they get mark as
read on server.

If I set fetchall, then I will every time retrieve all messages and so
flood my mailbox.

Coworkers use Eudora e-mail client on some third-grade OS, and it does
the "right" thing by default. How can I make fetchmail to do the "right"
thing?

Thank you.
