Just a quickie question.
How does fetchmail know it's already downloaded the messages?
That depends. With IMAP, it stores flags on the server. With POP3, it
can use LAST (obsolete but still works if the server gets it right),
UIDL (which I'd recommend as it's most reliable) or emulate UIDL in some
circumstances.
Personally, I'm using this:
poll pop3.myprovider.example
proto POP3
options uidl
user 'ma'
pass 'youdlikedaknowno?'
is 'mandree' here
options keep ssl
sslcertpath /etc/ssl/certs
