I don't understand your explanation for no. 2 below :-(
2) Because the non-existant $USER, the message is bounced
with an Error and has been deleted on the Server
If fetchmail can not deliver messages because there is no diskspace,
or the $USER does not exist, fetchmail writes to the defailt mailbox
for example "postmaster". if "postmaser" or an alias does not exist,
fetchmail tries to write to "/var/mail/root" if it is run from root.
Normaly an Error log entry and leafe the message on the server as
unfetched.
Now you have run fetchmail as $USER, where it can not write to
"postmaster" and "root".
So I am thinking, fetchmail has deletetd the messages, because you
have used the "flush" option.
