Thanks, that's exactly what I want to do. I sometimes access my
home email while at work via the web interface, and if my wife or kids
are at home using the computer, fetchmail may download and delete it.
Or I could download it at night and not have time to respond. I know
that I could set fetchmail to not delete the messages and do it
manually from the web interface, but I'd rather not do it that way.
I hadn't seen a way to do this delayed deletion easily with
fetchmail, although I may not have looked thoroughly.
Install Apache-ssl, Squirrelmail and imap-ssl.
No, really. POP, being the Post Office Protocol, is not designed to
do what you want it to do. (You don't go to your PO box every hour
hours to *read* your mail, putting the open mail back in the PO box,
do you?)
No indeed .. nor do I want the postal lady to pull over in front of my
house every ten minutes.
am away
What's wrong with hitting "G" as in "G-imme-my-mail", the way I do it
in mutt?
Don't fancy a client-side daemon or cron job taking off necessarily at
the wrong possible time .. hogging my CPU and internet when I'm in the
middle of something else.
Is there anything the matter with my approach to mail .. or e-mail ..
getting to it in my own time .. when I feel sociable and when I can
spare a few minutes to reply to it .. ??
Or are you folks in positions where you must be notified within minutes
and respond likewise?
I actually usually do POP manually (either Getmail or Sylpheed's built
in POP client), but automating it could be useful if I am away for a
while and I don't want to return to several thousand messages waiting
to be downloaded.
