Then there's a driver bug. fetchmail must not mark a mail it could not
deliver "read". However, I only tested against POP3, so I may have
missed that one at that time.
I am not sure if this is correct for POP3. It works correctly only for
POP3+UIDL (client side tracking).
UIDL is the only sane way for a reliable retrieval. Eric should make
that the default in the next version (it should have become the default
in 6.0.0 already).
Ok.
In that case, the IMAP code indeed has a bug. Here is a patch which
fixes that by adding a mark_seen() function to the driver and always
using BODY.PEEK for imap.
This patch also moves around the POP3/UID code from driver.c to pop3.c
just to keep things consistent.
I have tested this patch by using a script which returns 1 as an mda
for both IMAP and POP3.
