Dear List,
I use my GMail address to receive all my mails. I use POP to receive the mails and a copy of every mail is archived after it is downloaded from the server. I use fetchmail to download the messages and Mutt is my mailing agent. Sometimes, when I receive a large number of messages, I check my mail directly on mail.google.com , that is I read the mails and archive them. Now, the next time I use fetchmail to download my mails, the mails which I'd read and archived are also downloaded. Is there any way to prevent this?
Can you tell if this is happening after setting up pop access in gmail? ie. After reading mail thr' web interface if you setup pop access again does next fetch cycle download those messages?

I'm using Thunderbird with GMail. It downloads *all* messages not previously downloaded (and all messages once downloaded, are archived). It even downloads messages *I* send thru the webmail.
To answer the original question, the only you can avoid downloading read mails is by moving them to Trash.

So, I beleive there are only two ways to avoid this. One is to disable POP, read my mails, archive them and then enable POP again. The other one is to trash the mails.
Thank you for your replies.
Regards, Aparna.

did you try using fetchmail's "no fetchall" directive?

Well, thanks for the suggestion. But, I would prefer not to modify the fetchmailrc.

Why?
Well, actually, I am quite satisfied with the other methods. But, I'll surely try it out later.
Thanks a lot.

There is no trying out later. Its now or never. Afterwards you will be looking for solutions to new problems. Simply save a copy of the fetchmailrc file and then play with the original file to your heart's content.

Rony.
