Sounds like it worked, unless your saying that you didn't get any of the
messages. If the messageID is in the cache file and it is received a
second time, it wont be placed in your Inbox, instead its just deleted so
to speak.
I received all the messages (dispersed in their individual folders and cache
backup), even through the re-execution of fetchmail (from hanging up, then
terminating from the timeout) for the same messages (count of 386) on the
third time around, because the ISP somehow had a parser error on a particular
message. Consequently, I had to go into my account at the ISP's to eliminate
the given message, then all the messages downloaded from 1 - 385 on the forth
time without any hang-ups. Although, somehow fetchmail's messageID did not
recognize the messages, even on the forth time. (Hang-up was message 229.)
Note: Detailed Documentation(s) and Sample(s) are more than welcome.
