keyboard and produced:
I was unable to find a way to do in the docs, but I was
wondering if it
were possible to have fetchmail retrieve mail of a certain age, say 6
weeks.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: If you really want it, you'll need to provide a patch to do it.

Longer answer: What you're trying to achieve can probably be achieved by using
'keep' and 'fetchall', in conjunction with UIDL support so you don't refetch
old email.  If it doesn't support UIDL then you really don't want to use
fetchall.


PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list.  Email sent directly to me may
be ignored utterly.
