fetchmail for the most part assumes that it were the only client ever
accessing the mailbox, but this isn't true. I check mail from various
sites at various sites and still want all the mail downloaded and still
kept on the server, so anything that assumes "\Seen -> don't retrieve"
is bugged.

In other words, you're trying to use fetchmail as just another user
agent rather than an MTA.  Damn, I knew I should have deleted the keep
option.
