I beg to differ. fetchmail already is emulating interactive client
behaviour, after all, it supports retrieval from IMAP servers. :-)
Interactivity is in the behavior of the client, not of the server.
Seriously, Jan has a valid point in his argumentation. If you
reformulate "keep" to "keep always" or "delete never" and "no keep" to
"keep never" or "delete immediately", then "delete 2 days after
retrieval" is just fine.
The answer is still no. I've been resisting these kinds of features
for seven years, and have keenly regretted every single time I weakened.
