Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.9~rc2-3
Severity: minor
I'm interested in (ab)using fetchmail as a kind of imap biff -- that
is, I want it to print a line whenever the number of \seen mail in my
IMAP inbox changes. This nearly works with fetchmail --check --idle,
but unfortunately it doesn't update when I *remove* mail INBOX:
$ fetchmail --check --idle --verbose
