Well, the reason for using "fetchmail" at all is probably historical: It was the only available mail retrieval utility on Sun's Solaris way back in time. I am used to (and sort of depend on) running "fetchmail" as a daemon as well as using the "dropdelivered" directive provided by it for POP3 which causes fetched mail to be deleted on the server. But I've meanwhile seen that "getmail" provides the "--delete" command line option for that. And regarding the daemon mode I could whip up a shell script which runs "getmail" together with a "sleep 60" command in an infinite loop. So I could probably give it a try. Sincerely, Rainer
