Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.2.5-12
Severity: normal

I connect to the Internet using a dialup connection.

Fetchmail fetches the mails. After fetching one, it logs that it is
flushed.

However, if the dialup link is broken, it seems that the flushed
messages are not deleted.

When I reconnect to the net, and restart fetchmail, it starts to get all
the messages again.

If I have a lot of mails waiting, and my connection keeps breaking, I
can receive the same mails 3-4 times. This is quite embarassing.

A bigger problem is that with my freemail account, I can connect to my
freemail account for 10 minutes only. The problem is that when I have a
lot of mails, in 10 minutes fetchmail does not finish. When I can
reconnect, fetchmail starts with the already downloaded messages again,
and there's no way fetchmail can finish with my mails.

So I have to connect manually, dele the already downloaded mails by
hand, so that fetchmail can download the rest.

I would like fetchmail to delete the mails that it could deliver.

Cheers, Gabor
