Hi,
I have fetchmail running every 20 mins. Sometimes due to bad link or
a big mail stuck in queue, fetchmail does not work. This is not a
problem when I am around. But in my absence my boss would need to
know when was the last time fetchmail ran successfully. Can fetchmail
trigger an event like sending a mail or updating a (internal) webpage
to give the time and day etc after a successful run? Or is there any
other possible solution?
I run/monitor fetchmail with the attached script. The output looks like:

If multiple times appear without downloaded E-mail, then a problem is
very likely.
Because of the "--expunge 50" argument, totals aren't accurate when more
than 50 messages/mailbox are downloaded.
