[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#466299: fetchmail: Fails if unable to set \Seen flag

[Matthias Andree]

Nico,

the issue is that fetchmail is currently unable to fetch from read-only
mailboxes and aborts.  This will not be fixed for 6.X, but in the long
term (7.X), I plan to track seen/unseen IMAP mail on the client side
(like we already do with POP3 + UIDL), and then this will work.

The only open questions are the "when?" and the severity of the bug. It
can be anywhere from "wishlist" to "important" (as it stands) -- I don't
have any stakes there.

Best
Matthias
