 Hello, 
 
 fetchmail does not skip seen messages on my imap server: 
<---SNIP--->  
 set daemon 30 
 set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log 
 poll imap.1und1.de protocol imap 
        username "abcdefg" 
        password "hijklmn" 
        no rewrite 
        keep 
        mda /usr/bin/procmail; 

The problem is simple - you've specified keep (ie don't mark as
downloaded) without enabling UIDL support (see the man page).  That
way, fetchmail doesn't know what it's seen and what it hasn't.
