RE: [Sheflug] Fetchmail (again)

["Paul Sims" <nospam [at] lombard.co.uk>]

Fetchmailconf allows you to run in "safe" mode where the mail is still left 
on the server. In your .fetchmailrc file you can specify "option keepall" 
which will not delete the mail at the server end. When you are sure 
fetchmail is working ok you can delete the option. Have a look at the mail 
config page on www.sheflug.co.uk/mail.html
